We are trying to get data from Siemens OPC UA server which is provided by SINMUMERIK. SINNUMEIRK has a lot of machine data like R variables and Axis’s Load.
UaExpert which is a very popular opc ua client, can access the aliases like /Channel/Parameter/rpa[u1,3] or /Channel/Parameter/rpa[u1,20].
However, we can only access and map /Channel/Parameter/rpa via Tulip. We cannot find and specify /Channel/Parameter/rpa[u1,20] from OPC UA’s object tree of Tulip.
Could you please add a feature to map such aliases of OPC UA?
When showing notes in Tulip, we only show nodes that can be mapped to Tulip types, so these unsupported types are not shown. Generally, customers work around this by having something like Kepware sitting between PLCs and Tulip, to normalize all data to the base list of supported types.
Thank you for your information. I understood the support types of OPC UA Data Types. I also understand that Kepware can do it instead of Tulip.
The types of values that we woule like to get are Text or Number. I would like to have a way to map those nodes Tulip can’t find and map nodes at this moment.
