Detailed Description

Generated base class for a ConditionType.

This class contains the auto generated code for the object type ConditionType representing an OPC UA condition type. This class is used to create the condition type and to create and represent the condition object in the server address space. It provides also the UaEventData interface for the access to event data containing the current state of the condition for events sent to the client.

The ConditionType defines all general characteristics of a Condition. All other ConditionTypes derive from it. The FALSE state of the EnabledState shall not be extended with a sub state machine. The ConditionType inherits all Properties of the BaseEventType. SourceNode identifies the ConditionSource. If the ConditionSource is not a Node in the AddressSpace the NodeId is set to null. The SourceNode is the Node which the condition is associated with, it may be the same as the InputNode for an alarm, but it may be a separate node. For example a motor, which is a variable with a value that is an RPM, may be the ConditionSource for Conditions that are related to the motor as well as a temperature sensor associated with the motor. In the former the InputNode for the High RPM alarm is the value of the Motor RPM, while in the later the InputNode of the High Alarm would be the value of the temperature sensor that is associated with the motor.

ConditionClassId specifies in which domain this Condition is used. It is the NodeId of the corresponding ConditionClassType. See getConditionClassId or setConditionClassId for more details.

ConditionClassName provides the display name of the ConditionClassType.

ConditionName identifies the Condition instance that the Event originated from. See getConditionName or setConditionName for more details.

BranchId is Null for all Event Notifications that relate to the current state of the Condition instance. If BranchId is not Null it identifies a previous state of this Condition instance that still needs attention by an Operator. See getBranchId or setBranchId for more details.

Retain when TRUE describes a Condition (or ConditionBranch) as being in a state that is interesting for a Client wishing to synchronize its state with the Server’s state. See getRetain or setRetain for more details.

EnabledState indicates whether the Condition is enabled. See getEnabledState or setEnabledState for more details.

Quality reveals the status of process values or other resources that this Condition instance is based upon. See getQuality or setQuality for more details.

Events are only generated for Conditions that have their Retain field set to true.

LastSeverity provides the previous severity of the ConditionBranch. See getLastSeverity or setLastSeverity for more details.

Comment contains the last comment provided for a certain state (ConditionBranch). See getComment or setComment for more details.

ClientUserId is related to the Comment field and contains the identity of the user who inserted the most recent Comment. The logic to obtain the ClientUserId is defined in Part 5 of the OPC UA Specification.

The NodeId of the Condition instance is used as ConditionId. It is not explicitly modelled as a component of the ConditionType. However, it can be requested with the following SimpleAttributeOperand in the SelectClause of the EventFilter:

Name Type Description
SimpleAttributeOperand  
   typeId NodeId NodeId of the ConditionType Node
   browsePath[] QualifiedName empty
   attributeId IntegerId Id of the NodeId Attribute

Member Function Documentation

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::AddComment ( const ServiceContext serviceContext,
UaByteString EventId,
const UaLocalizedText Comment 
)
pure virtual

AddComment is used to apply a comment to a specific state of a Condition instance.

Normally, the MethodId passed to the Call Service is found by browsing the Condition instance in the AddressSpace. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore all Servers shall allow Clients to call the AddComment Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId and the well known NodeId of the Method declaration on the ConditionType as the MethodId. The Method cannot be called on the ConditionType Node.

Implemented in OpcUa::ConditionType.

UaStatus OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::beginCall ( MethodManagerCallback pCallback,
const ServiceContext serviceContext,
OpcUa_UInt32  callbackHandle,
MethodHandle pMethodHandle,
const UaVariantArray &  inputArguments 
)
virtual

Call method of an UA object.

Implementation of the MethodManager interface method beginCall.

Reimplemented from OpcUa::BaseObjectType.

Reimplemented in OpcUa::DialogConditionTypeBase, and OpcUa::AcknowledgeableConditionTypeBase.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::Disable ( const ServiceContext serviceContext)
pure virtual

Disable is used to change a Condition instance to the Disabled state. Normally, the MethodId passed to the Call Service is found by browsing the Condition instance in the AddressSpace. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore all Servers shall allow Clients to call the Disable Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId and the well known NodeId of the Method declaration on the ConditionType as the MethodId.

Implemented in OpcUa::ConditionType.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::Enable ( const ServiceContext serviceContext)
pure virtual

Enable is used to change a Condition instance to the enabled state. Normally, the MethodId passed to the Call Service is found by browsing the Condition instance in the AddressSpace. However, some Servers do not expose Condition instances in the AddressSpace. Therefore all Servers shall allow Clients to call the Enable Method by specifying ConditionId as the ObjectId and the well known NodeId of the Method declaration on the ConditionType as the MethodId.

Implemented in OpcUa::ConditionType.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getBranchId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of BranchId.

BranchId is Null for all Event Notifications that relate to the current state of the Condition instance. If BranchId is not Null it identifies a previous state of this Condition instance that still needs attention by an Operator. If the current ConditionBranch is transformed into a previous ConditionBranch then the Server needs to assign a non-null BranchId. An initial Event for the branch will be generated with the values of the ConditionBranch and the new BranchId. The ConditionBranch can be updated many times before it is no longer needed. When the ConditionBranch no longer requires Operator input the final Event will have Retain set to FALSE. The retain bit on the current Event is TRUE, as long as any ConditionBranches require Operator input. The BranchId DataType is NodeId although the Server is not required to have ConditionBranches in the Address Space. The use of a NodeId allows the Server to use simple numeric identifiers, strings or arrays of bytes.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getClientUserId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of ClientUserId.

ClientUserId is related to the Comment field and contains the identity of the user who inserted the most recent Comment. The logic to obtain the ClientUserId is defined in Part 5 of the OPC UA Specification.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getComment ( Session pSession) const
virtual

Returns the value of Comment.

Comment contains the last comment provided for a certain state (ConditionBranch). It may have been provided by an AddComment Method, some other Method or in some other manner. The initial value of this Variable is null, unless it is provided in some other manner. If a Method provides as an option the ability to set a Comment, then the value of this Variable is reset to null if an optional comment is not provided.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getConditionClassId ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of ConditionClassId.

ConditionClassId specifies in which domain this Condition is used. It is the NodeId of the corresponding ConditionClassType. . When using this Property for filtering, Clients have to specify all individual ConditionClassType NodeIds. The OfType operator cannot be applied. BaseConditionClassType is used as class whenever a Condition cannot be assigned to a more concrete class.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getConditionClassName ( Session pSession) const
virtual

Returns the value of ConditionClassName.

ConditionClassName provides the display name of the ConditionClassType.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getConditionName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of ConditionName.

ConditionName identifies the Condition instance that the Event originated from. It can be used together with the SourceName in a user display to distinguish between different Condition instances. If a ConditionSource has only one instance of a ConditionType, and the Server has no instance name, the Server shall supply the ConditionType browse name.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getConditionTypeOptionalFieldData ( OpcUa_UInt32  index,
Session pSession,
OpcUa_Variant &  data 
)
virtual

Get the field value for the passed index for optional fields of the ConditionType.

This function must be overwritten by derived classes to provide the optional fields registred with ConditionTypeData::registerOptionalEventFields

Parameters
indexThe index of the selected field.
pSessionThe session context for the method call.
dataThe data for the selected field.
OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getEnabledState ( )
virtual

EnabledState indicates whether the Condition is enabled. EnabledState/Id is TRUE if enabled, FALSE otherwise. EnabledState/TransitionTime defines when the EnabledState last changed. Recommended state names for LocaleIds are listed in the following table.

LocaleId FALSE State Name TRUE State Name
en Disabled Enabled
de Ausgeschaltet Eingeschaltet
fr Hors Service En Service

A Condition’s EnabledState effects the generation of Event Notifications and as such results in the following specific behaviour:

  • When the Condition instance enters the Disabled state, the Retain Property of this Condition shall be set to FALSE by the Server to indicate to the Client that the Condition instance is currently not of interest to Clients.
  • When the Condition instance enters the enabled state, the Condition shall be evaluated and all of its Properties updated to reflect the current values. If this evaluation causes the Retain Property to transition to TRUE for any ConditionBranch, then an Event Notification shall be generated for that ConditionBranch.
  • The Server may choose to continue to test for a Condition instance while it is Disabled. However, no Event Notifications will be generated while the Condition instance is disabled.
  • For any Condition that exists in the AddressSpace the Attributes and the following Variables will continue to have valid values even in the Disabled state: EventId, Event Type, Source Node, Source Name, Time, and EnabledState. Other properties may no longer provide current valid values. All Variables that are no longer provided shall return a status of Bad_ConditionDisabled.

When enabled, changes to the following components shall cause a ConditionType Event Notification:

  • Quality
  • Severity (inherited from BaseEventType)
  • Comment

This may not be the complete list. Sub-Types may define additional Variables that trigger Event Notifications. In general changes to Variables of the types TwoStateVariableType or ConditionVariableType trigger Event Notifications.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getFieldData ( OpcUa_UInt32  index,
Session pSession,
OpcUa_Variant &  data 
)
virtual
OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getLastSeverity ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of LastSeverity.

LastSeverity provides the previous severity of the ConditionBranch. Initially this Variable contains a zero value; it will return a value only after a severity change. The new severity is supplied via the Severity Property which is inherited from the BaseEventType.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getQuality ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of Quality.

Quality reveals the status of process values or other resources that this Condition instance is based upon. If, for example, a process value is “Uncertain”, the associated “LevelAlarm” Condition is also questionable. Values for the Quality can be any of the OPC StatusCodes defined in Part 8 (Data Access) of the OPC UA Specification as well as Good, Uncertain and Bad as defined in Part 4. These StatusCodes are similar to but slightly more generic than the description of data quality in the various Fieldbus Specifications. It is the responsibility of the Server to map internal status information to these codes. A Server which supports no quality information shall return Good. This quality can also reflect the communication status associated with the system that this value or resource is based on and from which this Alarm was received. For communication errors to the underlying system, especially those that result in some unavailable Event fields, the quality shall be Bad_NoCommunication error.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::getRetain ( ) const
virtual

Returns the value of Retain.

Retain when TRUE describes a Condition (or ConditionBranch) as being in a state that is interesting for a Client wishing to synchronize its state with the Server’s state. The logic to determine how this flag is set is Server specific. Typically all Active Alarms would have the Retain flag set; however, it is also possible for inactive Alarms to have their Retain flag set to TRUE. In normal processing when a Client receives an Event with the Retain flag set to FALSE, the Client should consider this as a ConditionBranch that is no longer of interest, in the case of a “current Alarm display” the ConditionBranch would be removed from the display.

virtual void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::lockEventData ( )
inlinevirtual

Lock the event data for data update and event handling.

This method is used for event data objects maintaining a state for conditions since there may be concurrent access to the condition data by a condition update and a condition refresh triggered by a client. This method is also used during the event processing in the SDK.

Reimplemented from UaEventData.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setBranchId ( const UaNodeId BranchId)
virtual

Sets the BranchId value.

BranchId is Null for all Event Notifications that relate to the current state of the Condition instance. If BranchId is not Null it identifies a previous state of this Condition instance that still needs attention by an Operator. If the current ConditionBranch is transformed into a previous ConditionBranch then the Server needs to assign a non-null BranchId. An initial Event for the branch will be generated with the values of the ConditionBranch and the new BranchId. The ConditionBranch can be updated many times before it is no longer needed. When the ConditionBranch no longer requires Operator input the final Event will have Retain set to FALSE. The retain bit on the current Event is TRUE, as long as any ConditionBranches require Operator input. The BranchId DataType is NodeId although the Server is not required to have ConditionBranches in the Address Space. The use of a NodeId allows the Server to use simple numeric identifiers, strings or arrays of bytes.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setBranchIdStatus ( OpcUa_StatusCode  status)
virtual

Set a status code for the event field BranchId.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setClientUserId ( const UaString ClientUserId)
virtual

Sets the ClientUserId value.

ClientUserId is related to the Comment field and contains the identity of the user who inserted the most recent Comment. The logic to obtain the ClientUserId is defined in Part 5 of the OPC UA Specification.

virtual

Set a status code for the event field ClientUserId.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setComment ( const UaLocalizedText Comment)
virtual

Sets the Comment value.

Comment contains the last comment provided for a certain state (ConditionBranch). It may have been provided by an AddComment Method, some other Method or in some other manner. The initial value of this Variable is null, unless it is provided in some other manner. If a Method provides as an option the ability to set a Comment, then the value of this Variable is reset to null if an optional comment is not provided.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setCommentStatus ( OpcUa_StatusCode  status)
virtual

Set a status code for the event field Comment.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setConditionClassId ( const UaNodeId ConditionClassId)
virtual

Sets the ConditionClassId value.

ConditionClassId specifies in which domain this Condition is used. It is the NodeId of the corresponding ConditionClassType. When using this Property for filtering, Clients have to specify all individual ConditionClassType NodeIds. The OfType operator cannot be applied. BaseConditionClassType is used as class whenever a Condition cannot be assigned to a more concrete class.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setConditionClassIdStatus ( OpcUa_StatusCode  status)
virtual

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setConditionNameStatus ( OpcUa_StatusCode  status)
virtual

Set a status code for the event field ConditionName.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setEnabledState ( OpcUa_Boolean  enabledState)

When enabled, changes to the following components shall cause a ConditionType Event Notification:

  • Quality
  • Severity (inherited from BaseEventType)
  • Comment

This may not be the complete list. Sub-Types may define additional Variables that trigger Event Notifications. In general changes to Variables of the types TwoStateVariableType or ConditionVariableType trigger Event Notifications.

void OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setEnabledStateStatus ( OpcUa_StatusCode  status)
virtual

Set a status code for the event field EnabledState.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setLastSeverity ( OpcUa_UInt16  LastSeverity)
virtual

Sets the LastSeverity value.

LastSeverity provides the previous severity of the ConditionBranch. Initially this Variable contains a zero value; it will return a value only after a severity change. The new severity is supplied via the Severity Property which is inherited from the BaseEventType.

If an event field is not available, a StatusCode must be provided instead of the value to indicate the error situation.

OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::setQuality ( OpcUa_StatusCode  Quality)
virtual

Sets the Quality value.

Quality reveals the status of process values or other resources that this Condition instance is based upon. If, for example, a process value is “Uncertain”, the associated “LevelAlarm” Condition is also questionable. Values for the Quality can be any of the OPC StatusCodes defined in Part 8 (Data Access) of the OPC UA Specification as well as Good, Uncertain and Bad as defined in Part 4. These StatusCodes are similar to but slightly more generic than the description of data quality in the various Fieldbus Specifications. It is the responsibility of the Server to map internal status information to these codes. A Server which supports no quality information shall return Good. This quality can also reflect the communication status associated with the system that this value or resource is based on and from which this Alarm was received.

UaStatus OpcUa::ConditionTypeBase::triggerEvent ( const UaDateTime time,
const UaDateTime receiveTime,
const UaByteString userEventId 
)
virtual

Send event with current event field data to the subscribed clients After setting the changed states of the event this method is used to trigger the event notification that contains the snapshot of the new state of the condition.

Parameters
[in]timeTime provides the time the Event occurred. This value is set as close to the event generator as possible. It often comes from the underlying system or device.
[in]receiveTimeReceiveTime provides the time the OPC UA Server received the Event from the underlying device or another Server.
[in]userEventIdThe server is responsible for generating a unique EventId for every event sent to the client. The SDK uses this parameter userEventId as part of the EventId but adds a unique part. The EventId is provided by the client in calls back to the server like in an alarm acknowledgement. The user specific part can be extracted from the EventId provided by the client by using EventManagerBase::getUserEventId()
