Establishing Connections between an OPC UA Server and an OPC UA Client (OPC UA Toolkit).

Using an OPC UA Server (OPC UA Toolkit).Creating an OPC UA Server with OPC UA Toolkit.More information about LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit (National instruments) You will find them here:Ĭ:\Program Files.\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20xx\vi.lib\OPCUA\client\internal\ Note that Multiple Write.vi and Multiple Read.vi are slightly more complicated to use.īut if you open previous code in LabVIEW 2017 or newer, it will still work, because the old Write.vi and Read.vi are still included, but hidden in the palette in LabVIEW. This means: In LabVIEW 2017 and newer it is recommended to use Multiple Write.vi and Multiple Read.vi instead of Write.vi and Read.vi for new applications. Note! When creating OPC Clients: The VIs Write.vi and Read.vi that was previously used in LabVIEW 2016 has been replaced with Multiple Write.vi and Multiple Read.vi. The LabVIEW DSC Module and the LabVIEW Real-Time Module no longer contain the OPC UA API. From the 2017 release, the LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit becomes a standalone product. The LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit contains the OPC UA API that was formerly part of the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module and the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. LabVIEW OPC UA (YouTube Video) + Tutorial (PDF) + LabVIEW OPC UA Examples (ZIP) Why: OPC foundation does not provide 64 bit binaries of the OPC core redistributables for OPC version 2.0. Note! OPC communication (OPC DA) using Datasocket is supported only in LabVIEW 32-bit version. OPC DA in LabVIEW + PowerPoint used in the Video For OPC UA you need the LabVIEW OPC UA toolkit. LabVIEW has built-in support for OPC DA using the DataSocket palette. OPC Foundation provides a set of sample OPC UA servers for demonstrating OPC UA functionality.ĭownload OPC UA Simulation Server and Sample Applications This one can also be downloaded separately.

If you have issues, please contact OPC ServersĪn alternative to Matrikon is NI OPC Server.Ī Demo version is included with "LabVIEW DSC Module" or "LabVIEW Real-Time module".

On the General Tab select both OPCEnum and Registry as the Browse Methods. Solution: In OPC Explorer select View -> Options from the menu bar.
