The CommServer UA package consists of the components that are shown in the figure below.
OPC UA Address Space Model Designer - software for developers and engineers to design OPC Unified Architecture Information Models ( read more ). The whole configuration can be prepared using a user-friendly Windows-based GUI. All nodes are presented on a tree and can be edited in the property window. This application uses Solution.uamdsl and Model.xm files to generate (during build ): Model.csv and AS.PredefinedNodes.uanodes. It can also create essential configuration files for CommServer UA (read more about it in sections: “Common parts and functionalities of CommServer UA”, “Redundant, multi-protocol, multi-channel data access engine functionality”, “OPC wrapper functionality”).
Solution.uamdsl - The OPC UA Address Space Model Designer (ASMD) implements conceptual containers called solutions and projects to apply their settings. Any solution contains one or more projects and it manages the way the designer configures, builds, and deploys sets of related projects. Read more.
Model.xml - XML file that describes the model ( read more ). OPC UA Address Space Model Designer compiles this model ( Model.xml ) and generates CSV file ( Model.csv ) and AS.PredefinedNodes.uanodes file.
