Please Read

The original version of this code was DEPRECATED AND CLOSED since April 2020 by the Author

They also took the unusual step of deleting the repo from their github account, and npm, which has caused some issues, with projects that replied upon this repo.

As the BSD-Clause 3 Licence allows re-distribution, I have uploaded the code here, for archive purposes

I am NOT maintaining or updating this code - If someone would like to take that on, then please fork this repo, and if it is improved upon, please let me know so I can link to it here.

Debug

Debugging on remote devices is important to help users. The verbose logging provides interesting points in different abstractions if IDE or console debugging is not possible.

Start debug with Node-RED in verbose (-v) mode to get a verbose logging:

DEBUG=opcuaIIoT* node-red -v 1>nodeREDIIoTOPCUA.log 2>&1

or on local Node-RED

DEBUG=opcuaIIoT* node red.js -v 1>nodeREDIIoTOPCUAServer.log 2>&1

Debug Options

Please, read the Wiki article

Your own address space model!

With the flex server you could create your own information model with the OPC UA address space.

Flex server Example

Learn with the examples!

The server node contains demo objects and variables to start playing with OPC UA method call, read and write operations.

see Node-RED menu (right upper corner) -> Import -> Examples -> iiot opcua

Contribution node-opcua
