OPC UA Data Access - functional scope

4.2 Browsing

4.2 Browsing
If the OPC UA data access interface is browsed, then the available address space is mapped
under "Sinumerik".
Global User Data (GUD) can be found under the "/Sinumerik/GUD" node.
The PLC blocks (inputs, outputs, bit memory, data blocks) can be found under the "/Sinumerik/
Plc" node.
Machine data can be found under the node "/Sinumerik/TEA".
Setting data can be found under the node "/Sinumerik/SEA".
Observe the following during browsing:
● In the address space of the NC, the displayed variables always represent only the first
parameter of the corresponding first OPI unit.
Example:
The R parameters can be found under "Sinumerik > Channel > Parameter > R". The
corresponding identifier is called "/Channel/Parameter/R", which is finally mapped to "/
Channel/Parameter/R[u1, 1]". If you want to access other parameters, then you must
correspondingly extend the identifier; you cannot directly accept the identifiers obtained
when browsing, e.g. "/Channel/Parameter/R[u2, 56]".
● In the address space of the NC, the displayed variables represent the access format that
has to be extended accordingly.
Example:
The variable "/Plc/MB" is in the address space. This variable must be extended by the
appropriate byte number, e.g. "/Plc/MB6". Only then is a value supplied.
● The address space of the NC also contains variables that are not available in a
corresponding machine configuration. These variables return "BadAttributeIdInvalid" as
value.
