Test OPC UA functionality
To check the OPC mapping, run a System Manager client and an OPC UA client and observe the status of the configured data points when triggering the relevant conditions in the system.
Current Preset
Variable check: Change the preset for an area in SM and observe the preset number change for the matching area’s data point in the OPC UA client.
-
Preset Number: 0-65534 on trunk, 0-170 on a single spur. Panic message uses 65534.
Use Method to SetAreaPreset and observe the scene change in the area and in SM.
Current and Setpoint Temperature
Change the temperature setpoint for an area in SM and observe the setpoint temperature change for the matching data point in the OPC UA client. Also, after some lag, the current temperature should approach the new setpoint temperature. Temperature Range: -127 – 127°C.
Use Method to SetAreaTemperature and SetAreaTemperatureUpDown and observe the temperature setpoint change in SM.
Metered Power
For metered power, check that the server is receiving the correct power information by sending Preset 4 (Off) to an area and observing the change in that area’s readings in the OPC UA client.
Change preset values for the subscribed Modbus registry. The Modbus points update when the Modbus polling has finished.
Motion Timeout
Enter the sensor motion timeout for all sensors in an area in minutes and check the data point value in the OPC UA client. A value of zero reverts to the default configured timeout.
Notional Power
Check that the server is receiving the correct power information by sending Preset 4 (Off) to an area and observing the change in that area’s readings in the OPC UA client.
Online Status
Disconnect and reconnect a device for the minimum polling period and observe the status change in the OPC UA client.
-
0: device offline
-
1: device online
Use Method to Acknowledge, AddComment, Disable, or Enable and observe the status change in the SM Alerts page.
DyNet Connection
Disconnect System Manager from the network for the minimum polling period and observe the change in status in the OPC UA client.
-
True: DyNet connected
-
False: DyNet disconnected
Total Offline Devices
Disconnect a device from the network for the minimum polling period and observe the change in Total Offline Devices value in the OPC UA client.
This increments or decrements the value based on the total number of offline devices.
Total Offline Drivers
Disconnect a driver from the network for the minimum polling period and observe the change in Total Offline Drivers value in the OPC UA client.
This increments or decrements the value based on the total number of offline drivers.
Total Offline Lamps
Disconnect a lamp from the network for the minimum polling period and observe the change in Total Offline Lamps value in the OPC UA client.
This increments or decrements the value based on the total number of failed lamps.
Total Offline Trunk Gateways
Disconnect Ethernet gateways from the network for the minimum polling period and observe the change in Number of Offline Gateways status in the UA OPC client.
