Summary | 0005148: Add service set to AliasNames for CRUD operations | ||||
Description | Alias Names are a major improvement to OPC UA. IMO once it is adopted it will become very important to many users. Widespread adoption will make apparent the need for standard interfaces for creating, reading, updating and deleting aliases. Without this there will be as many tools for CRUD as there are vendors that support aliases. This will lead to confusion and frustration. Adding a standard interface will make it possible to access all servers that support aliases and will make configuration, reconfiguration, etc much simpler, easier and provide a good user experience. This will further drive adoption of OPC UA. | ||||

Some additional note from specification: Recommendation: add APIs for A general purpose server requires configuration by the system integrator. This individual will assign aliases to control programs, HMI tags, alarms, etc. In a large system that can be many UA servers, each from a different vendor. Without an API for CRUD operations in the UA server, each server will require a custom tool to assign aliases - this will create a burden on the integration engineer This Another alternative - which might be used mroe often is to define all (or most) AliasNames in An AliasName Server (using any custom tool) and just assign the references to the target nodes (in what ever server they are assigned to) |
|
The Alias service set can be defined globally (as a service set) and per-category (as methods). System responses for name conflicts and resolution must be defined - e.g. if a category method Create("foo") is called and that Alias is already defined under a different category what is the system response? Can the same Alias appear under multiple categories? |
