Within the framework of the Industrial Data Capture & Publish project, I developed this opc ua server with nodejs so that it can be multiplatform in order to monitor our Industrial PCs remotely. This server makes available (using the OPC UA standard) the hardware and software information of the machine, e.g. serial number, manufacturer's name, installed software and patches.
I made this project based on the open source project that you can find here
You will find in the folder, two scripts:
-
Start by running the "node get-userN-wmic-test.js" script (this one allows you to copy or create the openssl folder in C:\n-Users, Admin, Local Programs..;
-
Next, run the "node server-opcua-nodejs-monitoringpc.js" (our opc ua server) ;
-
Make sure that the following message is present in your terminal :
initialized Server is now listening ... ( press CTRL+C to stop) port 4334 the primary server endpoint url is opc.tcp://xxx:4334
-
Now your server is working properly... Connect to its url address with unclient opc ua such as UAExpert to be able to exploit its data.
- Open your free client opc ua UaExpert and connect to your server. Follow the step by clicking on the link
P.S: openssl is the tool that allows to distribute and/or manage certificate keys between the client and the server.
