This article describes some (but not all) parameters that can be set for OPC UA.

Timeouts

For discussion on various QuickOPC timeout settings for OPC UA, see the QuickOPC-UA Timeout Settings article (in Knowledge Base). 

Example

// This example shows how to set fairly short OPC UA timeouts (failures can thus occur).

using System;
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;

namespace UADocExamples._UAClientSessionParameters
{
    class Timeouts

        public static void Isolated()
        {
            UAEndpointDescriptor endpointDescriptor =
                "opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:51210/UA/SampleServer";
            // or "http://opcua.demo-this.com:51211/UA/SampleServer" (currently not supported)
            // or "https://opcua.demo-this.com:51212/UA/SampleServer/"

            // Instantiate the client object and set timeouts
            var client = new EasyUAClient
            {
                Isolated = true,

            };

            Console.WriteLine("Subscribing...");
            // The callback is a lambda expression the displays the value
            client.SubscribeDataChange(endpointDescriptor, "nsu=http://test.org/UA/Data/ ;i=10853", 1000,
                (sender, eventArgs) =>
                {
                    if (eventArgs.Succeeded)
                        Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", eventArgs.AttributeData.Value);
                    else
                        Console.WriteLine("*** Failure: {0}", eventArgs.ErrorMessageBrief);
                });

            Console.WriteLine("Processing data change events for 10 seconds...");
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10 * 1000);

            Console.WriteLine("Unsubscribing...");
            client.UnsubscribeAllMonitoredItems();

            Console.WriteLine("Waiting for 2 seconds...");
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2 * 1000);
        }
    }

Server Diagnostics

The DiagnosticsMasks property on the SessionParameters allows the developer to specify the types of vendor-specific diagnostics to be returned by the OPC-UA server in the responses. The information from the server responses is then made available in the Diagnostics collection of OperationResult and EasyDataChangeNotificationEventArgs objects.
