Import of OPC UA Nodesets does not work in AS6.5

[Jan_Kemper]

I need to import some .uanodeset-files and bind them to a .uad-file in AS6.5.0.306 . Those .uanodeset-files are createt using the UA-ModelCompiler.

I have created a minimal example of such a NodeSet, which places a ‘SampleObject’ and a “SampleVariable” within the ‘Object’ folder.

When I place this nodeset into an empty AS4.12 project and activate the OPC UA system, the corresponding nodes are displayed directly in UaExpert:

When I try the same in AS6.5, I cannot get the nodes to display. I have already tried a few settings, including specifying the resulting namespace here:

No matter i haven’t yet managed to get the nodes from the .uanodeset file to appear in UaExpert:

The logger says: “NodeSet … loaded” and has no other warnings or alarms:

Has anyone ever imported an external NodeSet into AS6?

Are there any differences in the syntax requirements for NodeSet files between the different versions of AutomationStudio?

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Attached sample in AS6.5 with using your nodeset. Please tell us what is difference between your project and my one.

Thanks for your help. I tried every setting that was different in your project compared to mine. In the end, the following changes resolved the issue:

Updating ‘Visual Components’ from 6.0.0 to 6.5.0:

I then unhid the advanced settings here to add the user role ‘BR_Engineer’:

Now it is working again

I still have a few questions, though:

• How could I have found this error?

• Would this have worked somehow with ‘Visual Components 6.0.0’ as well?

• Are the version-dependent changes to the user role system documented anywhere?

• Do the settings below effect anything in the newer versions? I thought I’d already enabled the relevant permissions here. But even with a password-protected user account set to the ‘Administrators’ role, I can’t access the relevant permissions. It only works as an anonymous user, via the ‘new predefined’ roles like “BR_Engineer”.
