Application Defined Information Model
This model enables the Anybus CompactCom to present an application defined model created in an OPC UA modeler tool. The application defined information model can be completely custom or based on existing companion specifications that define profiles of devices according to OPC UA standards. Variable nodes of the application defined information model can be mapped to ADIs of the host application.
The information model is defined by a Nodeset2 XML file that can be generated by an OPC UA Modeler Tool. The finished Nodeset2 file is converted by a tool from HMS, the Anybus OPC UA NodeSet Encoder, to a binary file (binarynodeset.hiff, and this filename must not be changed), that is downloaded to the root of the file system of the Anybus CompactCom 40 IIoT Secure.
Variable nodes can either be tied to ADIs in the host application or be statically modeled in the information model. For nodes tied to ADIs, a separate namespace must be created. The Anybus OPC UA NodeSet Encoder will along with the binary file generate an ADI list as C source code, customized for the information model. This ADI list can be directly used in the CompactCom Host Application Example Code.
