Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I am getting error on the ValueResult in this line:

Dim valueResultArray() As ValueResult= easyUAClient.ReadMultipleValues(New UAReadArguments() _

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error BC30201 Expression expected. EBO_Browse D:\MyBin\Proj-VS2017\EBO-OPC Client\Configuration(1,137)\Form1.vb 1 N/A

Any idea why?

Thank you.

Michael

Yes, there is a similar thing for OPC UA.

Getting the datatype is done just by reading the DataType attribute of the node in question. Example: opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/QuickOpc/Latest/User%2...d%20DataType%20attributes.html .

Where it gets more complicates is what to do then. You get a DataTypeId, which is a Node Id of a node that identifies the type. You are probably interested in just the types known upfront - in that case you can see all types available in the core OPC UA specs in the UADataTypeIds class (in the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.Standard namespace). So you can compare the result to node IDs from this class. Somehow I have the feeling that we have discussed this already some time ago, but I am not sure.

Best regards
