A Node-RED node to communicate via OPC UA based on node-opcua library.
npm install node-red-contrib-opcua
!Node-RED OPC UA
node-red-contrib-opcua
========================
!opcuanodeLogo64
A [Node-RED][1] nodes to communicate or serve via OPC UA.
based on node-opcua
!nodeopcua64
Install
-------
Run command on Node-RED installation directory.
npm install node-red-contrib-opcua
or run command for global installation.
npm install -g node-red-contrib-opcua
Usage
-----
Use OpcUa-Item to define variables.
Use OpcUa-Client to read / write / subscribe / browse OPC UA server.
See some flows under folder ![examples].
Updated server sub-flow example OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json look commands: addFolder, addVariable, addMethod, setFolder.
Added new opcua-rights node to set folder/variable access level and role & permissions.
Here you got some ready to use examples.
You can use the Import in Node-RED in the right upper corner menu.
!node-red-opcua-flow
Examples are available for Schneider IGSS and Prosys Simulation Server as Node-RED flow.

Input message
----
| __Property__ | __Function/Value__ | __Notes__ |
|--------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
| payload | set interval for subscription or monitorItem
| interval | Subscription interval |
| queueSize | Subscription queue size |
| deadbandType | "a" abs. or "p" percent | Action monitor
| deadbandValue | integer for deadband | Action monitor
| topic | NodeId and DataType in format ns=3;s=Counter;datatype=Int32
| action | subscribe | nodeId / variable

readmultiple to readmultiple items
writemultiple to write multiple items
clearitems to empty multiple items (readmultiple / writemultiple)
NOTE: With datatype=xxxArray msg.payload.range = "2:4" can used as indexRange to read/write partial array

Release history (only couple of older releases):
v0.2.223
Fixed: Namespace index used with variables (set value).
Enhancements: Initial value can be set to server variable, server returns nodeId as variable created. Added support for StringArray.
Enhancement: Added users to server. Users.json contains username, password and role for each user.
Enhancement: server allow anonymous, added verbose to show trusted/rejected folders.
Enhancement: server node security settings; mode and policy
Fix: added to client certificate manager
Enhancement: server commands: registerNamespace and getNamespaceIndex, user can addVariables with registered namespaces like ns=5.
Enhancement: msg.topic = readmultiple AND msg.payload = ALL then msg.payload = values
Added DateTime to server.
Fixed DateTime conversion (write).
Added 2D and 3D array support. Examples:
ns=1;s=Float2D;datatype=FloatArray[5,5]
ns=1;s=Float3D;datatype=FloatArray[5,5,5]
NOTE: Write range uses msg.range
New feature msg.payload.range can be used to read part of Array
New feature msg.range can be used to write part of Array
Updated example OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json
Added array range examples (examples/OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json).
Send only if payload contains something.
Added msg.payload.range usage
New feature msg.payload.range can be used to read/write part of Array
Fix: FQDN -> hostname in makeAplicationUri
EventId and statustext as clear string
EventId as hex string
Fixed support for server Array variables
Browse will create topic and datatype thus output can be connected. Next node can progress output msg.
Refactored browse action fast and simple
Merged event payload fix. Merge pull request #265 from list3f/master
Put OPC UA event data in msg.payload
