Executing Standalone Dashboard-OPCUA-Client

  1. Obtain the OPC UA Client Binaries: There are two options for obtaining the binaries:

    1. Download the stable version from Releases

      1. Select latest release.
      2. Download artefact for your operating system.
        • use windows-2022 for most versions of Win 10 and Win 11,(only older versions need windows-2019 (see #477 for details)
      3. If older than 4 weeks use alternative option.

    2. Download the development version from the latest CI run

      1. Select newest workflow run.
      2. Download artifact for your operating system.

  2. Unzip Folder

    1. Linux: Install .deb package with sudo dpkg -i dashboardopcuaclient_*_*.deb

  3. Create configuration for Client on Windows:

    1. Within folder bin create a file called configuration.json

  4. Create configuration for Client on Linux:

    1. Create a file configuration.json in your home directory

  5. Adapt configuration

    1. Open configuration.json (use any text editor) and insert content from here
      1. configuration.json.example
      2. Change OPC UA and MQTT endpoint information according to Configuration

  6. Start on Windows DashboardOpcUaClient.exe.

  7. Start on Linux DashboardOpcUaClient configuration.json from your home directory

    1. The start-up phase can last for up to 10 minutes, depending of the size of the server. When the client is connected to the MQTT broker a 1 is transmitted to the MQTT Broker on the topic umati/v2/<CompanyName>/<ClientName>/clientOnline. The output of the console should look like this: Client_Output

    2. After the start up a JSON containing all machine values is published on the MQTT Broker at topic umati/v2/<CompanyName>/<ClientName>/<SpecificationType>/<EscapedMachineNodeId> (e.g. umati/v2/ISW/ClientSampleServer/MachineToolType/nsu=http:_2F_2Fexample.com_2FBasicMachineTool_2F;i=66382)

Automatic restarting on Windows

To monitor and restart the client automatically, please use the provided restart.ps1. You need to modifiy the path to the DashboardOpcUaClient.exe to use it.
