open62541

open62541 (http://open62541.org) is an open source and free implementation of OPC UA (OPC Unified Architecture). open62541 is a C-based library that contains all the necessary tools to set up a dedicated OPC UA server, to integrate OPC UA-based communication into existing applications (linking with C++ projects is possible), or to create an OPC UA client. The library is distributed as a single pair of header and source files, that can be easily dropped into your project. An example server and client implementation can be found in the /examples directory or further down on this page.

open62541 is licensed under the LGPL + static linking exception. That means open62541 can be freely used also in commercial projects, although changes to the open62541 library itself need to be released under the same license. The server and client implementations in the /examples directory are in the public domain (CC0 license). They can be used under any license and changes don't have to be published.

Contribute to open62541

As an open source project, we invite new contributors to help improving open62541. If you are a developer, your bugfixes and new features are very welcome. Note that there are ways to contribute even without deep knowledge of the project or the UA standard:

Example Server Implementation

Compile the examples with the single file distribution open62541.h and open62541.c from the latest release. With the GCC compiler, just run gcc -std=c99 <server.c> open62541.c -o server.

#include <signal.h>
#include "open62541.h"

#define PORT 16664

UA_Boolean running = UA_TRUE;
void signalHandler(int sig) {
    running = UA_FALSE;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    /* catch ctrl-c */
    signal(SIGINT, signalHandler);

    /* init the server */
    UA_ServerNetworkLayer nl = UA_ServerNetworkLayerTCP(UA_ConnectionConfig_standard, PORT);
    UA_ServerConfig config = UA_ServerConfig_standard;
    config.logger = Logger_Stdout;
    config.networkLayers = &nl;
    config.networkLayersSize = 1;
    UA_Server *server = UA_Server_new(config);

    /* add a variable node */
    /* 1) set the variable attributes (no memory allocations here) */
    UA_Int32 myInteger = 42;
    UA_VariableAttributes attr;
    UA_VariableAttributes_init(&attr);
    UA_Variant_setScalar(&attr.value, &myInteger, &UA_TYPES[UA_TYPES_INT32]);
    attr.displayName = UA_LOCALIZEDTEXT("en_US","the answer");

    /* 2) define where the variable shall be added with which browsename */
    UA_NodeId newNodeId = UA_NODEID_STRING(1, "the.answer");
    UA_NodeId parentNodeId = UA_NODEID_NUMERIC(0, UA_NS0ID_OBJECTSFOLDER);
    UA_NodeId parentReferenceNodeId = UA_NODEID_NUMERIC(0, UA_NS0ID_ORGANIZES);
    UA_NodeId variableType = UA_NODEID_NULL; /* no variable type defined */
    UA_QualifiedName browseName = UA_QUALIFIEDNAME(1, "the answer");

    /* 3) add the variable */
    UA_Server_addVariableNode(server, newNodeId, parentNodeId, parentReferenceNodeId,
                              browseName, variableType, attr, NULL);

    /* run the server loop */
    UA_StatusCode retval = UA_Server_run(server, &running);
    UA_Server_delete(server);
    nl.deleteMembers(&nl);
    return retval;
}

Example Client Implementation

#include <stdio.h>
#include "open62541.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    /* create a client and connect */
    UA_Client *client = UA_Client_new(UA_ClientConfig_standard, Logger_Stdout);
    UA_StatusCode retval = UA_Client_connect(client, UA_ClientConnectionTCP,
                                             "opc.tcp://localhost:16664");
    if(retval != UA_STATUSCODE_GOOD) {
        UA_Client_delete(client);
    	return retval;
    }

    /* create a readrequest with one entry */
    UA_ReadRequest req;
    UA_ReadRequest_init(&req);
    req.nodesToRead = UA_Array_new(1, &UA_TYPES[UA_TYPES_READVALUEID]);
    req.nodesToReadSize = 1;
    
    /* define the node and attribute to be read */
    req.nodesToRead[0].nodeId = UA_NODEID_STRING_ALLOC(1, "the.answer");
    req.nodesToRead[0].attributeId = UA_ATTRIBUTEID_VALUE;

    /* call the service and print the result */
    UA_ReadResponse resp = UA_Client_Service_read(client, req);
    if(resp.responseHeader.serviceResult == UA_STATUSCODE_GOOD &&
       resp.resultsSize > 0 && resp.results[0].hasValue &&
       UA_Variant_isScalar(&resp.results[0].value) &&
       resp.results[0].value.type == &UA_TYPES[UA_TYPES_INT32]) {
           UA_Int32 *value = (UA_Int32*)resp.results[0].value.data;
           printf("the value is: %i\n", *value);
   }

    UA_ReadRequest_deleteMembers(&req);
    UA_ReadResponse_deleteMembers(&resp);
    UA_Client_disconnect(client);
    UA_Client_delete(client);
    return UA_STATUSCODE_GOOD;
}
