OPC UA XML model

Post by johanningmann »

Hello,
we using WinCCO OA 3.16 P 16 and starting to setup an OPC A Server.
To create the view structure there are two options available by WinCCOA via Datapoint Group or CNS. Is some of you aware if it also possible to use an xml model which can be imported by WinccOA to create the view?

pretty much like the Siome by Siemens

Hello,

no, an OPC UA Companion Specification cannot be imported. However, you can read in the XML and create data point types, data points and a CNS view via script.

Hi Kilian or Mr. Knipp or anybody else..:),
another question.
How do we create an OPC UA device model (AddressSpace) “method”? Doesn’t seem to be available in the Plantmodel, is there another way to do this?

See this:
https://reference.opcfoundation.org/v10 ... Part3/4.7/

Kind regards,
Frank

Unfortunately, I don't know what to do in this case.
I would recommend that you contact Siemens support regarding your question.

Thx,
no problem we will figure out if it is possible or not.

3.16 is certified by the OPC foundation for OPC UA: 1.03 so in my understanding they have to fulfill the OPC UA Profile 1.03 incl. the "Method Server Facet / Adress Space Method" where it is mentioned. I will keep trying to get an answer.

Update,
I just went thru the help again and noticed that they not supporting all profile of version 1.03.

Online help:
Treiber - OPC Unified Architecture - Unterstütze OPC UA Profile

Missing Profile is: Server Category - Facets - Generic Features - Method Server Facet (see Link in above post)

Kind regards,
