Nodesets

The TwinCAT OPC UA Server allows the import of OPC UA Nodeset files. A nodeset can define data types and instances, for example as part of a companion specification, which are available within the nodeset in an XML structure (standardized by the OPC Foundation).

Using the TE6100 OPC UA Nodeset Editor software, such nodeset files can be created, modified and linked with symbols from a TwinCAT real-time environment. The nodeset can then be imported into the TwinCAT OPC UA Server and used there.

Further information on this topic can be found in the TE6100 OPC UA Nodeset Editor product documentation.

The following screenshot shows an example of the workflow for using both TwinCAT functions.
