Delete Monitored Nodes VI

Owning Palette: OPC UA Client VIs

Requires: OPC UA Toolkit

Deletes one or multiple monitored nodes from a subscription.

Example

OPC UA client refnum in specifies the reference for the OPC UA client.
subscription ID in specifies the ID of the subscription.
node IDs specifies the IDs of the nodes. The format of the node ID is ns=<namespace index>;<identifier type>=<identifier>. A node ID contains the following components:
  • namespace index is a base 10 number that indicates the namespace of the node ID.
    If namespace index is 0, the format of the node ID can be <identifier type>=<identifier>. The namespace index for a node that you created with the OPC UA Toolkit is 2.
  • identifier type represents the type of the identifier and has the following values:

    ValueIdentifier Type
    iNumeric
    sString
    gGUID
    bOpaque
  • identifier is a string value that represents the name of the identifier.


The format of the node ID can also be ns=<namespace index>;<identifier type>=<identifier>@<index>:<index>. For example, ns=2;s=Folder.Array@1:2. This format only applies to the array data type and allows you to read a single element or a range of elements of an array. You cannot use @ in a node name.

For backwards compatibility, node IDs also accepts node paths as input for OPC UA servers only. You can regard the node path as the string type identifier of the node ID. For example, a node path can be Device.folder.item.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
timeout specifies the maximum time, in milliseconds, that this VI waits to get a response from the OPC UA server. The default is 5000.
OPC UA client refnum out returns the reference for the OPC UA client.
subscription ID out returns the reference of the subscription that this VI accessed.
status returns the status code.
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
service status returns the status of an OPC UA service call. OPC UA services contain parameters that are conveyed between an OPC UA client and an OPC UA server.

Example

Refer to the OPC UA Demo.lvproj in the labview\examples\Data Communication\OPCUA directory for an example of using the Delete Monitored Nodes VI.
