Hi,

I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to do. If you can clarify that and describe what is the problem I could help better.

I do not recommend starting a new Thread per onDtaChange, as that might take a while. Use e.g. some ExecutorService that is initialized outside of onDataChange.

Make 200 MonitoredDataItems, add MonitoredDataItemListener to them and then add items to a Subscription. Look at the tutorials and the sample programs.

I do not understand “After that change I need to record data of databases as soon as possible to Node.”. Do you want to write them to a database OR to a server node?? The latter doesn’t make much sense, I would need to know more about your use case. But basically use UaClient.writeValue. Storing data to a database is outside of the scope of the support.

For example something like this should work.

Note that by default you wont receive datachanges if the value would be the same and only the timestamp would change. In order to receive those as well you must set the DataChangeFilter to have DataChangeTrigger.StatusValueTimestamp, i.e.

Additionally to receive faster replies you most likely want to change the Subscription settings in the constructor to have shorter publishInterval, see the javadocs for more information.

Also note that since all the value notifications to that onDataChange method happen in the same Thread (PublishTask Thread of the UaClient), you might want to handle writing, database querys etc in a different Thread.

Hi,

OPC UA nor normal Java JVM is not a real-time system (or the operating system you most likely are running your application with), there will be always fluctuations.

But generally speaking, check the publishinterval of the Subscription vs. the speed you are writing. Additionally if you do any blocking operations in the onDataChange method, it can delay the rest.

For more information about how the MonitoredItems and Subscriptions work, please see the specification 1.04 Part 4 sections 5.12 MonitoredItem Service Set and 5.13 Subscription Service Set

If that doesn’t help please use e.g. wireshark to see how the actual requests etc. are going + timings (https://www.prosysopc.com/blog/opc-ua-wireshark/)

Please clarify what you are exactly doing and what error you are getting for “When I try to put the NodeID Structure, it’s ending with error”, there is so many ways I could interpret that in the context of OPC UA so it is really hard to say, i.e. show code for what you have done and stacktraces for errors (or UA StatusCodes in some cases, which usually say Bad_something)

I do not understand what you mean by “Is it also necessary to set the OPC server?”

If you have a node, which has a Structure Value (i.e. the DataType of the node is a subtype of the “Structure” DataType), you will get a structures from it. However it should be noted that Structures have their own encoding rules. If it is not a Structure the SDK knows, i.e. a Structure codegenerated with the codegen, SDK will try to resolve the so called “TypeDictionaries” of the server (and this needs the server to provide correct data) and gives the value as a java class DynamicStructure. You can access the fields via the methods defined in the ‘Structure’ interface.

P.S. I’m assuming you are using SDK version 4.x (currently the newest is 4.0.2), previous 3.x versions do not automatically decode unknown Structures (you will get ExtensionObjects instead, which is the encoded “wrapper” defined in the UA Binary encodings in the Part 6 of the specification).

Ok, that explains a lot, thanks. This might be outside the scope of the technical support we give, as it is more about design. But I’ll try..

0. Generally the design seems a bit odd..

1. Is the PLC program/server something you have influence over i.e. can you change it?

2. I assume the DataType of 1_Data is not literally the “Structure” NodeId, i.e. “i=22”, it should refer to some node below DataTypes/Structure node.

3. Is the Value of 1_Data node really a Structure containing all the Barcode, Position, X, Y, Z, Name fields?

4. Note that UA DataType Byte does not have a Null encoding, you will get 0 instead.

5. You can write multiple values at once via UaClient.writeValues(NodeId[] nodeIds, Object[] value) method, and you’ll probably have to do it like that unless you change the PLC side (assuming the PLC will understand that single call such as to keep it in sync, otherwise you’ll get first X as 0 with Y being what it was, then X 0 and Y 0 etc.). I would recommend maybe making an UA Method instead. That way you can skip the PLC setting all to Null part and directly call REST when the Method call returns or something. Just a suggestion.

6. I recommend making some sort of “task” system etc, anything that does not directly call the DB in the same Thread as the onDataChange is called by the SDK. They are all called in the same PublishTask thread of the UaClient, blocking it via the DB call will block handling of all other datachanges.
