The OPC UA SDK is used in the SeRoNet Projct as communication backend in the service robotic. More Information about the project can be found here: [SeRoNet Website] (https://www.seronet-projekt.de/). The SeRoNet tooling offers the best user experience.
There is a seperate Repos for the examples:here
The current implementation is based on a fork of the open62541
project the open62541 project (0.4 or higher) . The SmartSoft Component-Developer API is another dependency, which however is a git submodule.
For building the library, CMake (at least version 3.8) is required.
For building the examples the following packages need to be installed on your system:
- CMake (at least version 3.8)
- open62541 the (https://github.com/open62541/open62541) (clone, build and install the library)
- open62541AbstractionLayer the master (clone, build and install the library
- SmartSoft Component-Developer API SmartSoft Component-Developer API (build and install the library)
It is important to install and build the Mulicast-Discovery (clone recursive and cmake flag DUA_ENABLE_DISCOVERY_MULTICAST:BOOL="1"). Dependencies for open62641 is the python module six (pip install six)
An example for the installation can be found here. Some Commands and Parameter can be depend on your system.
> git clone https://github.com/open62541/open62541.git --recursive
> pushd open62541
> mkdir cmake-build-debug
> cd cmake-build-debug
> cmake -DUA_ENABLE_AMALGAMATION:BOOL="1" -DUA_ENABLE_DISCOVERY_MULTICAST:BOOL="1" ..
> cmake --build . --target install -- -j 2
> popd
see Readme.md of the Project. Please note that the op62541 projcet may already have been installed.
see SmartSoft Component-Developer API
This is an example. Some of the instuctions depends on your system. Please note that you have to set the SmartSoft_CD_API_DIR. Its the path to the install directory of the SmartSoft API installed one step before.
> git clone --recursive https://github.com/seronet-project/SeRoNetSDK.git
> pushd SeRoNetSDK
> mkdir cmake-build-debug
> cd cmake-build-debug
> cmake -DSmartSoft_CD_API_DIR:PATH="PATH/TO/YOUR/INSTALLATION/modules" ..
> cmake --build . --target install -- -j 2
> popd
The library is in a first draft version and includes some hardcoded shortcuts as explained below.
- The current implementation is in no way optimized towards performance. The focus is on clean structures rather than efficiency. However, this implementation already minimizes the number of required threads. Basically, at the moment, each component requires exactly one internal thread that manages all events from all potential server ports that need to provide (internal management) feedback to client ports. Yet, execution times and the amount of required memory can still be considerably improved.
