Introduction to NodeSet files

OPC UA uses information models to provide semantics for the data exposed by an OPC UA Server. The standard OPC UA information model is defined in the fifth part of the specification and is used by all OPC UA Servers. This information model is used as a basis for defining new information models for various applications such as modeling devices and their components as Nodes.

OPC UA defines Information Model XML Schema, which specifies how to represent information models in XML format. XML-files representing information models are formally called OPC UA NodeSet files or simply NodeSet files. The OPC Foundation maintains a GitHub repository containing NodeSet files and other files.

Users can also generate NodeSet files for their own information models with OPC UA modeling tools such as OPC UA Modeler.

Prosys OPC Products and NodeSet Files

Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java supports NodeSet files by loading the information model directly from a NodeSet file with loadModel methods of UaAddressSpace interface and by generating Java classes based on a NodeSet file or a group of NodeSet files with the Code Generator. Generating Java classes with the Code Generator allows augmenting the generated code to implement Methods defined in the information model.

The generated code also makes it more convenient to add instances based on the TypeDefinitionNodes of the information model with Java classes representing them to the Server’s AddressSpace and handling those instances with clearly named methods. The code excerpt below demonstrates how instances of MotionDeviceSystemType and MotionDeviceType can be added easily to the Server’s AddressSpace with code generated from the Robotics information model.

				
					// Add MotionDeviceSystem

MotionDeviceSystemType MDS = myNodeManager.createInstance(MotionDeviceSystemType.class, "MDS1");
DeviceSetFolder.addReference(MDS, Identifiers.Organizes, false);

// Add MotionDevice to MotionDeviceSystem

TypeDefinitionBasedNodeBuilderConfiguration.Builder conf = TypeDefinitionBasedNodeBuilderConfiguration.builder();
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "OnPath"));
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "InControl"));
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "FlangeLoad"));
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "AdditionalComponents"));
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "Inertia"));
conf.addOptional(UaQualifiedName.from("http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Robotics/", "CenterOfMass"));
myNodeManager.setNodeBuilderConfiguration(conf.build());
MotionDeviceType MD = myNodeManager.createInstance(MotionDeviceType.class, "MD1");
FolderType MotionDevicesFolder = MDS.getMotionDevicesNode();
MotionDevicesFolder.addComponent(MD);
MD.setManufacturer(new LocalizedText("MD1 Manufacturer"));
MD.setModel(new LocalizedText("MD1 Model"));
MD.setMotionDeviceCategory(MotionDeviceCategoryEnumeration.ARTICULATED_ROBOT);
MD.setProductCode("MD1 Product Code");
MD.setSerialNumber("MD1 Serial Number");
				
			

The Professional Edition of Prosys OPC UA Simulation Server can import Namespaces from NodeSet files. This allows adding instances of the imported ObjectType and VariableType Nodes to the Simulation Server’s AddressSpace in the Objects tab. As Simulation Server uses Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java, importing Namespaces from NodeSet files to Simulation Server is similar to loading them to any Server application developed with the SDK. However, the version of the SDK used by the Simulation Server isn’t always the latest version of the SDK, which means that there can be some differences between Server applications developed with the latest version of the SDK and Simulation Server using an older version of the SDK.

Incompatibility Problems

Ideally, the NodeSet files available at the OPC Foundation’s GitHub repository could be used as they are by Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java and Prosys OPC UA Simulation Server. Unfortunately, not all of these NodeSet files can be used to import information models. While some NodeSet files require a newer version of the standard information model than the one supported by the SDK, some NodeSet files contain modeling errors that prevent using them without fixing them manually.

Name Clashes

The Code Generator also places some additional restrictions on the NodeSet files, and name clashes between the generated methods can happen in various situations. For example, let’s consider TemperatureControlType Node with two child Nodes: SetpointTemperature Variable of Double DataType and SetSetpointTemperature Method with a single InputArgument field with Double DataType. When processed with the Code Generator, the generated TemperatureControlType Java class will have two setSetpointTemperature methods with double parameter where one of the methods is for setting the Value of the SetpointTemperature Variable, and the other method is for calling the SetSetpointTemperature Method.

These methods are implemented by TemperatureControlTypeNodeBase class, and their implementation is shown in the code excerpt below, where the first method sets the Value and the second method calls the Method. Other generated methods called by these two methods have been excluded from this excerpt. As different methods in a Java class must have different method signatures, this piece of code causes Java compiler errors.

				
					@Mandatory
@Override
void setSetpointTemperature(Double value) {
	UaVariable node = getSetpointTemperatureNode();
	if (node == null) {
		throw new RuntimeException("Setting SetpointTemperature failed: does not exist (Optional Nodes must be configured in NodeBuilder)");
	}
	try {
		node.setValue(value);
	} catch(StatusException e) {
		throw new RuntimeException("Setting SetpointTemperature failed unexpectedly", e);
	}
}
  
@Override
public void setSetpointTemperature(Double setpoint) throws StatusException {
	doSetSetpointTemperature(ServiceContext.INTERNAL_OPERATION_CONTEXT, setpoint);
}
				
			

However, name clashes in the generated code can be fixed manually by renaming methods to give them unique method signatures. In the case of TemperatureControlType, renaming either of the two setSetpointTemperature methods in all classes it appears in would solve the name clash.

Name clashes in the generated code can also be prevented by excluding the Nodes that would generate them in the Code Generator’s configuration files. Such Nodes have been excluded in the Code Generator configuration files linked to this blog post. Note, that excluding Nodes only affects the API generated by the Code Generator and not the AddressSpace where the excluded Nodes will still be present.

Unsupported ValueRanks

At the moment, the Code Generator supports Variable Nodes with ValueRanks of -1 and greater than or equal to 1. Some NodeSet files contain Variable Nodes with other ValueRanks such as -2 (except for BaseDataType) or -3 and generating code for such Nodes is not supported. In order to generate code for such NodeSet files, Nodes with unsupported ValueRanks must be excluded by adding the BrowseName of the Node to the excludes elements of the Code Generator’s configuration file.

Nodes with unsupported ValueRanks have been excluded in the Code Generator configuration files linked to this blog post. Again, this only affects the API generated by the Code Generator and not the AddressSpace.

Test Setup

The purpose of this blog post is to provide information on the compatibility of the NodeSet files available at the OPC Foundation’s GitHub repository with Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java and Prosys OPC UA Simulation Server.

The information model importing tests were performed on a Windows 10 PC with Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java version 4.7.0-7 and Prosys OPC UA Simulation Server version 5.1.4-361 The SDK is tested with both code generation based on NodeSet files with the Code Generator and loading information models directly to a Server’s AddressSpace from NodeSet files with loadModel methods of UaAddressSpace interface. Simulation Server is tested with Import NodeSet File function of Namespaces tab.

The tested NodeSet files were downloaded from the OPC Foundation’s GitHub Repository’s v1.04 branch. No modifications were made to the NodeSet files. Most information models consist of a single NodeSet file, but some information models consist of multiple NodeSet files for modularity.

Note that the version information in a NodeSet file is not updated automatically every time the model is updated.

Prosys OPC Products and NodeSet Files

Prosys OPC UA SDK for Java supports NodeSet files by loading the information model directly from a NodeSet file with loadModel methods of UaAddressSpace interface and by generating Java classes based on a NodeSet file or a group of NodeSet files with the Code Generator. Generating Java classes with the Code Generator allows augmenting the generated code to implement Methods defined in the information model.

The generated code also makes it more convenient to add instances based on the TypeDefinitionNodes of the information model with Java classes representing them to the Server’s AddressSpace and handling those instances with clearly named methods. The code excerpt below demonstrates how instances of MotionDeviceSystemType and MotionDeviceType can be added easily to the Server’s AddressSpace with code generated from the Robotics information model.

				
					codegen\commandline\bin\codegen.bat -c CONF
				
			
or
				
					codegen/commandline/bin/codegen.sh -c CONF
				
			
where CONF is the path to the configuration file.

Additional information
Method Nodes “ns=1;i=7029” and “ns=1;i=7026” have the same BrowsePath excluding angle brackets causing the Code Generator to generate unusable code. This can be fixed before generating code by opening the NodeSet file and changing the BrowseName of either of these two Method Nodes such that they have different BrowsePaths. For the current version of the Nodeset file, the BrowseNames are on lines 4683 and 4692. For example, changing the latter BrowseName from “2:MethodIdentifier” to “2:Method” will fix the issue.
