UAReadArguments Constructor(UAEndpointDescriptor,UANodeDescriptor,UAReadParameters)
Example 



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel Namespace > UAReadArguments Class > UAReadArguments Constructor : UAReadArguments Constructor(UAEndpointDescriptor,UANodeDescriptor,UAReadParameters)
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
Contains parameters for OPC-UA read operations, such as the maximum age of the value.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function New( _
   ByVal endpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor, _
   ByVal nodeDescriptor As UANodeDescriptor, _
   ByVal readParameters As UAReadParameters _
)
'Usage
 
Dim endpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor
Dim nodeDescriptor As UANodeDescriptor
Dim readParameters As UAReadParameters
 
Dim instance As New UAReadArguments(endpointDescriptor, nodeDescriptor, readParameters)

Parameters

endpointDescriptor
Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.
nodeDescriptor
Node descriptor. Identifies the node in OPC server's address space.
readParameters
Contains parameters for OPC-UA read operations, such as the maximum age of the value.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

You can obtain nodeDescriptor e.g. by calling one of the browsing methods on OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClientCore object.

Example

.NET

// This example shows how to read data value of 3 nodes at once, from the device (data source).

using System;
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;

            var client = new EasyUAClient();

            // Obtain attribute data. By default, the Value attributes of the nodes will be read.
            // The parameters specify reading from the device (data source), which may be slow but provides the very latest
            // data.
