A library to generate OPC UA artifacts based on an xml nodeset (or a server) and target nodes, as well as an automated OPC UA server documentation builder.

Install the module in editable mode for development:

pip install -e .[dev]

OPC UA Client Generator (Python)

This generates a typed client for a voraus OPC UA specification in form of a nodeset.

OPC UA Server XML Builder

The XML builder creates a OPC UA specification of a running OPC UA Server.

voraus-opcua-generator build-xml motion_nodes.xml

OPC UA Server Documentation Builder

The documentation builder for OPC UA server XML files creates RST files for all nodes including methods and variables. Code examples for each node are also generated. Note that the documentation builder will create a subdirectory including the documentation folder, which must not be committed. You also have to include the base rst file to the doctree of your index.rst file.

How to use

Use the tools to configure own generator, all classes can be generated to a single file or multiple schemas can be generated to multiple files

# setup parser
schema_parser = NodesetParser("nodeset.xml") # or ClientParser("opc.tcp://<ip>:<port>")

# select target nodes
target_nodes: List[ua.NodeId] = [
    ua.NodeId(8100104, 1),  # classify camera image
    ua.NodeId(8200101, 1),  # detect objects
    ua.NodeId(8310101, 1),  # find qr codes
    ua.NodeId(4200102, 1),  # apply camera setting
]

# parse schema
schema = schema_parser.parse(target_nodes)

# set override options
override_options: List[OverrideOptions] = [
    OverrideOptions(
        node_id=ua.NodeId.from_string("ns=1;i=100210"),
        name="Motion",
    ),
]

# generate code
code = generate_code(schema, override_options)

# write to file
with open(<filename>, "w") as file:
    file.write(code)
