In This Topic

In OPC-UA, Methods represent the function calls of Objects. Methods are called (invoked) and return after completion, whether successful or unsuccessful. Execution times for Methods may vary, depending on the function they are performing. A Method is always a component of an Object.

A single method

If you want to call a method on a specific object node in OPC UA, use the EasyUAClient.CallMethod method, passing it the endpoint descriptor, object node ID, method node ID, and optionally the method input arguments (if the method has any). The input arguments are specified by an array of objects. The number of arguments and their types must conform to the method's requirements.

If the operation is successful, it returns an array of output arguments of the method call. The number of output arguments and their types are given by the UA method.

Multiple methods; argument type conversion

For making multiple method calls (on the same or different object nodes) in an efficient manner, use the EasyUAClient.CallMultipleMethods method. You pass in an array of UACallArguments objects, each specifying the location of the object node, the method node, and the input arguments to be passed to the method.

If the originating tool or language cannot directly supply the argument in a type that is required for the method by the OPC UA server, you can have the value converted to the desired type internally by QuickOPC. The corresponding type information can be passed in some method overrides, or inside a UACallArguments object (using the InputTypeCodes, InputTypeFullNames or InputTypes property).

The features discussed here, or some of them, may not be available in all editions of the product. Check the QuickOPC Product Editions page for differences between the editions. The trial license has all features enabled (and is limited in period for which it provides valid data), but licenses for specific commercial editions may have functionality limitations.

Advanced

If you access some node or nodes repeatedly, it might be possible to improve the performance of it by (pre-)registering the node or nodes with the server. The performance improvement will only occur if the target OPC UA server supports the necessary node registration services. For more information, see OPC UA Node Registration Service.
