Hello,
I do not understand this post. Is that some kind of new problem (if so, make a new forum topic)?

I have replied yesterday with a fix/workaround for the issue you have reported (the quotes around the charset). Have you implemented the workaround, and what were the results please?

Best regards

Hi,

The error message (can be seen in the screenshot above) says "An OPC operation failure occurred in the NET API OPC Data Access client. The inner exception ....".

Could it be possible that the EasyDAClient does not recognize that it is a OPC XML-DA URL in the .NETCore version and tries to connect via OPC DA (Data Access)?

Our url looks as follows: http://10.10.10.116:80/opcxmlda/Pilz.PSS4000_OPCServerDA.DA

Kind Regards,
Christian

Hello. We think that this issue is due to a Microsoft bug:

github.com/dotnet/wcf/issues/1684
github.com/dotnet/wcf/issues/1965

They have closed it unresolved in the first case. But there is a pull request github.com/dotnet/wcf/pull/2137 (with the actual code here: github.com/dotnet/wcf/commit/db3e7e6aac08fa5ba1d541e8abc4234f76091cf0 ) which finally fixes the issue.

The affected package is System.ServiceModel.Http . QuickOPC 2018.3 requires version 4.4.4 or higher; unfortunately version 4.4.4 still contains the bug.
Versions from 4.5.0 onwards appear to work fine.

For you now, there is an easy workaround: Simply add System.ServiceModel.Http version 4.5.0 or higher to NuGet dependencies of your project.

We will bump up the version of System.ServiceModel.Http required by QuickOPC to 4.5.0 or higher in the upcoming version QuickOPC 2019.1. Release date for it is not yet set, though.

I hope this helps, and thank you for reporting the issue
Best regards

Hi,

I can give you a small update. If we use .NET Framework Full and use one of your examples (which are installed when installing the SDK from you) it works and we can connect and read from the KASSL XML-DA gateway.

If we use a .NETCore example from your SDK we get the exception.
If we don't use the URL of the KASSL XML-DA gateway on our side but use a public .asmx XML-DA gateway (opcxml.demo-this.com/XmlDaSampleServer/Service.asmx) it also works with .NETCore.

Maybe you could try it on your side with the KASSL XML-DA gateway on Windows with .NETCore (I think you tried it on Linux as you said).

Kind regards,
Christian

Thank you for the details. We will re-test with a configuration that is as close to yours as possible, and then reply here.

Best regards

Hi,

The machine where the XML-DA Kassl gateway runs is a Windows 10 machine with .NET 4.6.2 installed (Kassl gateway is no .NET program).
The machine where I tried the QuickOPC client is also a Windows 10 machine with .NET Core 2.1 as dependency and QuickOPC version 5.54.1026.
The IDE I use is VisualStudio 2017. In the end the program will run on a Linux iot edge device in a Docker container but for testing purposes I just debugged it on native Windows with VisualStudio.

I added a screenshot of the full exception message and a screenshot of the IDE where you can see the Dependencies of the C# project and installed .NETCore version and QuickOPC version and the simple code example.

It does not look like a network issue because I can connect to the XML-DA gateway via the program dOPC Explorer (also from KASSL) and browse all nodes / variables.
Our windows culture is german (switzerland). I don't know if this could cause any issues.

Please let me know if you need more information to be able to reproduce the issue.

Kind regards,
Christian

Hello.

Yes, there are quotes in the response from the Kassl XML-DA gateway, I can confirm that.
Unfortunately, in our tests, this has caused no problems. We could connect QuickOPC just fine to the gateway, and communicate with it.

In our tests, the gateway ran on Windows XP and Windows 7. The small QuickOPC test client program ran on "full" .NET Framework on Windows 7 (I know that's not your interest), and then under .NET Core on Linux. It worked.

Please let me know
1) The operating system, and .NET Framework version installed on the machine where the XML-DA gateway runs.
2) The operating system and version, and .NET Core version, on the machine where you run your test client,
3) The version and build of QuickOPC (from the Properties -> Details on one of its .DLLs) you are using.
4) any other information that would help us reproduce the issue.

Best regards
