thank you for your answer.
I will ask to technical support of OPC server.
Can I post on their forum a link to this discussion?
Best regards

I have analyzed the logs. For both errors (BadSequenceNumberUnknown and BadTimeout), I have not found any problem on the client side.

Specifically:

For BadSequenceNumberUnknown, at 25/11/2017 10:26:00.650 in the PublishRequest the client is trying to acknowledge an unacked sequence number 1 (from previous PublishResponse at 25/11/2017 10:26:00.630), and the server is rejecting that sequence number as unknown in PublishResponse at 25/11/2017 10:26:20.508.


For BadTimeout, there are two of them, both of them are ServiceFaultResponse, they are both at 25/11/2017 10:27:31.916. They correspond to PublishRequest-s at 25/11/2017 10:26:27.231 and 25/11/2017 10:26:27.283. I do not know what reason the server may have to time out after a few seconds.

As all this information is observable from the server log which you have obtained and sent, I would recommend to send that log with my explanation to Kepware, and ask them for comments. My opinion is that the server is not behaving fully in compliance with the spec (at least not in the case of BadSequenceNumberUnknown; technically, it is entitled to return BadTimeout to any request, but it still does not feel right) , but I would be curious to hear what they have to say; and if they think differently, we can then take it from there.

Best regards

Just an addendum to my previous response: The error with BadNodeIdUnknown is "normal", or at least benign. But the others are more suspicious.


Explanation:

The BadNodeIdUnknown is for a node Server.ServerCapabilities.OperationLimits.MaxNodesPerRead which we read at the very beginning in order to be able to chunk the read requests to the size supported by the server. We can normally communicate fine without the server supporting that (typically, embedded servers limit the number of nodes per read; but PC-based servers handle large numbers well). There are other similar errors further down in the log - they are for other operation limits, and it's fine too.

Thank you. I apologize for letting you wait; I had too much work.

I wanted to reply that we normally do not have such problems with KepServer, as it is well established product. But, of course, older version can have some issues, so I suppose the stopping subscriptions were due to something on the server side.

Now, to the remaining errors: They are not normal. I will further analyze the log you have sent, or ask you to make a Wireshark capture should the log be insufficient. Just give me some time.

Best regards

I have upgraded my OPC server (TopServer) to the latest version (6.3 from 5.16) and it seems all ok.

I continue having this errors in your log but subscription has no problem:

25/11/2017 09:26:20 The OPC-UA server on endpoint URL "opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:49380" has reported a subscription acknowledgement error with code 0x807A0000 for subscription ID 4 and sequence number 1. Further subscription acknowledgement errors with this code on this session will not be logged.
Operation result: BadSequenceNumberUnknown. ============ Date:2017-11-25 Time:10:26:20

25/11/2017 09:27:31 The OPC-UA client session with connect sequence number 1 on endpoint URL "opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:49380" has encountered a publish error with code 0x800A0000 for subscription ID 0 and sequence number 0. The error might be from the Publish or the Republish service. Further publish errors with this code on this session will not be logged.

In OPC server I have this log (I attacch the complete log):

Is it normal? or I must adjust something in my software?

There is an error connecting to the server, but the main question is, *why* is the client even trying to (re)connect?

My understanding was that you are subscribing to some data changes. In such case. EasyUAClient should remain connected (or at least attempt to stay connected) until all subscriptions are removed. So, if you have not removed the subscription, and there is a connection attempt after 1 minute, something must have gone wrong in between, and the client is try to re-connect.

Can you please attach a handler to the static EasyUAClient.LogEntry event, and make a record of the messages (with their timestamps) that occurr?

Thank you

Sorry for the late, but I make some tests.

I modified my plc program to fire just 1 event on 1 bit variable only when I command it.
At startup it seems all ok. DatachangeNotification are right.
After about 1 minute, are fired some events (without any variable changes) with subscription errors, see attacched image.

I also paste the errrors:
e {[] *** Failure -1 (0xFFFFFFFF): OPC-UA client session is not available when connecting the client subscription.}
e.Arguments {"opc.tcp://localhost:49380", "NodeId="ns=2;s=PLC_Siemens.PLC1.DB199.DBX100.4"", Value}
http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.OperationModel

Any suggestion?
