Included Examples

The Sample Client provides examples for the most important OPC UA client use cases.

The sample code and the referenced functions in the following list can be found in the file main.c.

It provides examples for:

• Server discovery
• Certificate and security handling (methods SetupPKIInfrastructure and ClientMain)
• Connect to server
• Disconnect from server
• Read values from server (method Demo_Read)
• Create subscription and data monitored items
• Browse the server address space
• Call methods

The callback handling for data changes and events is implemented in Demo_Subscription_DataChange_CB and Demo_Subscription_NewEvents_CB.

The configuration parameters for the client (DiscoveryUrl, ServerUrl etc.) are loaded from the file client_settings.conf and stored in the appropriate client and session structures.
