Protocol specification

...


The OPC UA protocol is the next generation of the OPC standard, which provides a cohesive, secure, and reliable platform-independent framework for access to the real-time data. The main difference in comparison with the previous versions is that the interprocess communication uses TCP/IP communication instead of COM/DCOM technology and therefore is OS (Windows) independent. This protocol supports two methods of data encoding (binary and XML). The existing OPC client implementation supports only binary encoding.

...

endpoint
endpoint
Endpoint: a physical address on a network, which allows the client to access to one or more of the services provided by the server.

session
session
Session: it is an abstract connection of the OPC UA server and a client on the OSI application layer.

monitoreditem
Monitored item: an entity on the OPC UA server that is defined by the client. It is used for monitoring the values.

subscription
subscription
Subscription: an object on the OPC UA server that is defined by the client. It returns the notifications about the change of monitored items.

...

When initiating the communication, the client exchanges multiple messages with the server. In the case of binary encoding, "Hello Message" isthe first message sent from the client to the server. The message defines the size of receiving and sending buffers and the maximum size of messages that may be exchanged during TCP communication between client and server. It also defines the URL address of the endpoint. The server answers by sending sending an "Acknowledge message", in which it confirms the suggested parameters or modifies them according to its their limits.

The next message sent by the client is "OpenSecureChannel message". It is used to establish a communication channel to exchange data. In this message, the client and server agree on what type of encrypting and signing mode will be used (either "sign and encrypt" or "encrypt" only). OPCUA client in the D2000 System supports only unencrypted mode.

...

After activating the session, all types of messages that are intended for object management in the address space of the OPC UA server can be swapped. In this step, the client creates a subscription with the parameters set on the communication station level for all stations within the communication line.

The monitored items should be then inserted into these subscriptions. They correspond with the instances of I/O tags, which contain the parameters defined in the address dialog window.

From this moment, the server informs the client about the changes in the monitored objects by

Kotva
publish_message
publish_message
"Publish message" in the periodic intervals (that have been set in the parameters of the subscription). If the monitored objects have not been changed, the server will send a "Publish message" once in (Max KeepAlive Count * Publishing Interval) seconds. The message informs the client that the subscription is is still active. A similar check mechanism is also on the client - side - it will send a "Publish messagerequest" once every (Max KeepAlive Count * Publishing Interval). If the client does not send the acknowledgment "Publish message" within (LifeTime Count * Publishing Interval), the subscription will expire on the side of the server side.

Communication line category: OPC UA Client
Host address: OPC UA server address. You may set the name according to UNC convention (e.g. "\\server" or "server", DNS names (e.g. "domain.com", "example.company.com") or IP address ("196.54.23.113").  In the case of redundant systems, multiple names/addresses separated by commas or semicolons can be entered.
TCP port: TCP port of OPC UA server (e.g. 4840).
EndpointUrl: Endpoint address (e.g. opc.tcp://localhost:4840)
Encoding type: Type of encoding that is used for data exchange (currently only Binary encoding is supported).

...

OPC UA communication was tested with:

  • Simatic S-7 OPC UA Server
  • Bernecker PLC embedded OPC UA Server
  • Zenon OPC UA Server

Forced disconnection: If all stations on the line are in the simulation mode or the communication is stopped for them, the line will be disconnected (the communication socket will be closed). If the simulation is disabled for at least one station and the communication is not stopped for it (the Parameters tab of the Station type object), the line will be connected again.

Checking the "Structured tags" option causes the variables (tags) to appear in the tree structure in addition to the objects, and the KOM process also attempts to read their descendants. This is useful for browsing OPC UA servers that support structured tags. You can also insert a tag into the address dialog window of the I/O tag by double-clicking the tag name in the tree structure.
