In order to maintain simplicity, PicoOPC reduces its model to just a handful of types.
The types listed in the table below are data objects. They do not perform any operations besides manipulating in-memory data. The data objects are all defined as immutable.
Type Name | Description |
AttributeId | Identifiers assigned to attributes. |
BuiltInType | Enumeration of built-in types. |
DataValue | The value and associated information. |
NodeId | Unambiguously identifies a node. |
NodeIdType | Type of the node ID identifier. |
ReadValueId | Identifier for an item to read. |
Variant | A union of all built-in data types. |
WriteValue | Describes a node, and its attribute and value. |
There is one service object type, i.e. a type that allows the actual operations on the target system.
Type Name | Description |
Client | A minimalistic OPC UA client object. |
The actual representation of the types depends on the language binding.
