I'm trying to write values to some OPC UA
nodes with Qt
and open62541
. For that I have to know the different data types of the nodes. Every time I try to read the data type of a node, I get a Boolean type
instead of an int32
. It is the correct node in the list and I can read all nodes. Can someone please help me?
//This is how I add nodes to the server. This is an example with the node DBW0.
//After adding the nodes to the server, each node will be append to the _nodeList.
void OPCConnection::AddNodeToServer()
{
QOpcUaNodeCreationAttributes attributes;
attributes.setDataTypeId(QOpcUa::namespace0Id(QOpcUa::NodeIds::Namespace0::Int16));
attributes.setValueRank(-2); // Scalar or array
attributes.setAccessLevel(QOpcUa::AccessLevelBit::CurrentWrite);
attributes.setUserAccessLevel(QOpcUa::AccessLevelBit::CurrentWrite);
QOpcUaAddNodeItem item;
item.setParentNodeId(QOpcUa::QExpandedNodeId("ns=2;s=PLC1.S7_300.DB120"));
item.setReferenceTypeId(QOpcUa::nodeIdFromReferenceType(QOpcUa::ReferenceTypeId::Organizes));
item.setRequestedNewNodeId(QOpcUa::QExpandedNodeId("ns=2;s=DBW0"));
item.setNodeClass(QOpcUa::NodeClass::Variable);
item.setNodeAttributes(attributes);
_client->addNode(item);
}
//This is how I read the nodes.
void OPCConnection::readNode()
{
if (_client->state() == QOpcUaClient::ClientState::Connected)
{
for (int i = 0; i < _nodeList->count(); i++)
{
_nodeList->at(i)->readAttributes(QOpcUa::NodeAttribute::DataType);
_nodeList->at(i)->readAttributes(QOpcUa::NodeAttribute::Value);
}
}
}
//After reading I want to write.
void OPCConnection::setNodeValue(const QVariant value, const int index)
{
_nodeList->at(index)->writeValueAttribute(value,
_nodeList->at(index)->attribute(QOpcUa::NodeAttribute::DataType).
value<QOpcUa::Types>());
}
I can only write boolean nodes as a datatype, because each node has a boolean value as a datatype.
I found a solution for my case, but I'm not happy with that. Because I can't distinguish a 16 bit Integer and a 32 bit Integer.
void OPCConnection::setNodeValue(const QVariant value, const int index)
{
_nodeList->at(index)->writeValueAttribute(value,
selectType(_nodeList->at(index)->attribute(QOpcUa::NodeAttribute::Value).type()));
}
QOpcUa::Types OPCConnection::selectType(const QVariant::Type type)
{
switch (type)
{
case QVariant::Bool:
return QOpcUa::Types::Boolean;
case QVariant::UInt:
return QOpcUa::Types::UInt32;
default:
return QOpcUa::Types::UInt16;
}
}
