Hi,

I am trying to extract Node set files from Automation studio project. Could anyone share the procedure. the same Node set files will be used by 3rd party vendor to communicate via OPC UA.

Good morning @sai.dadi and welcome to our community!

Once you transfer your project, you can find the Node set files automatically configured by Automation Studio in the folders of your project. Since the route of these files can change if you are in simulation or in a real machine, you can always search them between the files of your project, and then you can extract them:

Also, you can define your own node set files by adding an OPC UA NodeSet File in the Configuration View by searching it in the Toolbox:

You can also find and extract these manually configured node set files in the same place than the preconfigured ones.

After compiling the project, you will find in the Temp project folder under your configuration the OpcUaMap/OpcUaMap.uar file. You have to change the ending to .xml in order to get the nodeset file of our OPC UA server. I think this is what you are looking for.

I have same issue with 3rd party OPC UA client(ABB 800xA in our project).
it seems server detail in the given node set file is missing. please let me know how to generate Node set file with server details.

TBH I have no experiences with UA modeler. So I can not help you.

UA Modeler is a 3rd party too I used to check Upload with above mentioned Nodeset file. Same i have tried with ABB800xA OPC Client also. both tools not able to read server data from nodeset file created in temp folder. Do we have any other Nodeset file which contain server info also together with project? from Automation Studio.

In most cases UaModeler is used the other way around.
UaModeler is used to create your own information model. This information model can then be imported in AS. In AS it is possible to link information from this information model to information from the PLC.
