node-opcua / node-wot-opcua-tools

Tools for bridging (node-)WoT and (node-)OPCUA

node-wot opcua -tool

A set of tool to bridge the Web of Things protocol and OPCUA.

converting an OPCUA object to a WoT

The opcua_classic_to_wot command creates a Wot type definition file by browsing and crawling a particular OPCUA object. It then starts an HTTP servient, so you can interact with the remote OPCUA server to read, write, subscribe to variables, or call methods.

for instance

$ ts-node src/opcua_classic_to_wot.ts opc.tcp://localhost:48010  /3:BuildingAutomation/3:AirConditioner_1

demo

$ ts-node src/opcua_classic_to_wot.ts opc.tcp://opcuademo.sterfive.com:26543  /[nsDI]:DeviceSet/[nsOwn]:CoffeeMachine

you can then visit the

http://localhost:8080/coffee-machine/

or http://localhost:8080/coffee-machine/properties

command getThing

Usage:

node-wot-opcua getThing [options]

connect to an OPCUA to browse a node and convert it to a ThingDescription

Options

options	comment
-e, --endpoint	the opcua endpoint in the form opc.tcp://machine:port (default: "opc.tcp://opcuademo.sterfive.com:26543")
-n, --node	the browse path to OPCUA object node to convert (default: "/[nsDI]:DeviceSet/[nsOwn]:CoffeeMachine")
-o, --output [filename]	the output JSON file name
-h, --help	display help for command

examples:

node-wot-opcua getThing -e opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n /3:BuildingAutomation/3:AirConditioner_1 -o thing1.json

node-wot-opcua getThing -e opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -n /Server/ServerStatus -o thing1.json

command runServer

Usage:

node-wot-opcua runServer [options]

run an OPCUA thing description and turn it to a WOT server with a http servient

Options:

• -t, --thing <thing.json> the thing description file
• -p, --port the http port (default: "3000")
• -h, --help display help for command

example:

$ node-wot-opcua runServer -t "thing1.json"

converting an OPCUA PubSub datastream to a WoT

The opcua_pubsub_to_wot command creates a Wot type definition file from an OPCUA PubSub MQTT datastream (JSON encoding).

It then starts an HTTP servient, so you can interact with the remote OPCUA server to read or subscribe to variables.
