If you use (part of) this software please attribute the use to ASTRON as indicated in the file NOTICE in the root of the source code repository.

In brief:

in case of missing automake/ autoconf:

sudo apt install autoconf
sudo apt install automake

in case of missing boost libraries:

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev (or even sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev)

Compile instructions:

compile from scratch:

autoreconf -f -i
./configure
make

Configure server:

vi src/uniboard.conf

Usage: Startup server process: (for testing)

cd src
./sdptr --type LTS --configfile=sdptr.conf --nodaemon

Connect with a client over control socket (tcp 3335)

for example: telnet localhost 3335

or more convenient: add this line to ~/.alias

alias unbclient="socat readline,history=$HOME/.unbclient_history TCP:localhost:3335"

and then (after re-login) use the command: unbclient

to connect to the [sdptr] server and you have commandline editing plus (!) cursor up to access command history

Python C library install

(note: already installed on dop36)

git clone https://github.com/open62541/open62541 follow install instructions from https://open62541.org/doc/current/installing.html

Python Client Install

(note: already installed on dop36)

sudo apt install python-opcua
sudo apt install python-opcua-tools
cd opcua/
git clone https://github.com/FreeOpcUa/python-opcua.git

Test the OPCua client with the proviced C client

Compile the OPCua client: cd test/c/ua_client then execute the command shown in the README file in that directory

1. Start the sdptr server on dop36: if --configfile is not used, sdptr is looking in the default place /etc/sdptr.conf

cd src
./sdptr --type LTS --configfile=sdptr.conf --nodaemon

2. Run the client:

cd test/c/ua_client
./client

The (test) client reads out all available Uniboard registers.

Test the OPCua client with the opcua-client (GUI) on test-lcu2.astron.nl

ssh -J hiemstra@portal.astron.nl -L localhost:55555:test-lcu2.astron.nl:55555 hiemstra@test-lcu2.astron.nl run OPCua GUI client: opcua-client then open an OPCua connection to: opc.tcp://dop36:4840
