OPC客户端的自动化实现
OPC是建立在COM,DCOM的基础商的,因此绝大多数语言都可以很好的进行开发。在Net中开发客户端有以下几种方式:
(1) 使用OPCNetAPI,需要用到OPCNetAPI.dll,OPCNetAPI.Com.dll
(2) 使用自动化接口,需要用到OPCDAAuto.dll
(3) 使用自定义接口,需要用到多个Wrapper:OpcRcw.Ae.dll,OpcRcw.Batch.dll,OpcRcw.Comn.dll,OpcRcw.Da.dll,OpcRcw.Dx.dll,OpcRcw.Hda.dll,OpcRcw.Sec.dll
以上开发方式所需的动态链接库可以从OPC基金会(http://www.opcfoundation.org/)的网站上下载,一些下载项目可能需要注册,或成为基金会的成员。
不同的方式有各自的有缺点,请参见…
本文使用自动化接口,VB.Net语言进行开发,开发项目是无线射频(RFID)卡方面的应用,典型的如公交车,或公司考勤使用的刷卡机。需要注意的是自动化接口存在一个“不是问题”的问题,数组下标是以1开始的,而不是传统计算机开发上的以0开始。不知道设计者头脑是怎么想(有人知道吗?);这可能会给一些语言的开发造成问题(有人碰到吗,没有你就是幸运的)
需求:OPCDAAuto.dll或该Dll的Interop
(一) :客户端开发流程
OPC客户端的开发主要遵循下图所示的开发流程,下面就从以下几个开发步骤进行说明
(二) :枚举OPC服务器列表
枚举服务器主要是通过OPCServer接口的GetOPCServers方法来实现的,该方法会返回OPC服务器数组(以1为下界,上面已有说明),以下是代码段
'枚举OPC服务器列表
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Try
GlobalOPCServer = New OPCAutomation.OPCServerClass()
Dim ServerList As Object = GlobalOPCServer.GetOPCServers
For index As Short = LBound(ServerList) To UBound(ServerList) '加入控件列表中,注意这里使用LBound和UBound
cbbServerList.Items.Add(ServerList(index))
Next
If cbbServerList.Items.Count > 0 Then
cbbServerList.SelectedIndex = 0
End If
ResetControlStatus() '设置控件状态
GlobalOPCServer = Nothing
Catch Ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("List OPC servers failed: " + Ex.Message, "OPCSample", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
End Try
End Sub
(三) :连接OPC服务器
自动化接口中连接到服务器是使用connect方法
Public Overridable Sub Connect(ByVal ProgID As String, Optional ByVal Node As Object = Nothing)
ProgID指服务器的ProgID,Node代表网络节点,如果是本机则放空即可。
连接到服务器后,以下属性需要特别注意:
OPCServer.StartTime:服务器的启动时间
OPCServer.CurrentTime:服务器的当前时间,各个客户端可以通过这个属性值完成一些同步的操作
OPCGroups.DefaultGroupIsActive:以后添加的Group是否默认激活
OPCGroups.DefaultGroupDeadBand:Group的默认死区,变化量超过死区后将会触发DataChange事件,
合理的设置该值可以提高程序性能
OPCGroups.Count:下属组(Group)的数量
OPCGroups.DefaultGroupLocalID:组(Group)的默认通信区域编号,如1024
OPCGroups.DefaultGroupUpdateRate:组(Group)的默认刷新率,该属性也比较重要
OPCGroups.DefaultGroupTimeBias:组(Group)的默认时间偏差
(四) :添加组(Group)和项 (Item)
添加组和项需要用到Groups.Add和Items.AddItem方法,以下是原型:
Function Add(Optional ByVal Name As Object = Nothing) As OPCAutomation.OPCGroup
Function AddItem(ByVal ItemID As String, ByVal ClientHandle As Integer) As OPCAutomation.OPCItem
组也有两个重要的属性
Group.UpdateRate:刷新率,该属性通Groups的UpdateRate意义一样,如果这个值有设置,则以这个值为准
Group. IsSubscribed:是否使用订阅功能
以下是代码段
'连接到指定的OPC服务器
Private Sub btnConnectServer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnConnectServer.Click
If cbbServerList.Text <> "" Then
ConnectedOPCServer = New OPCAutomation.OPCServerClass()
Try
ConnectedOPCServer.Connect(cbbServerList.Text)
'设置组集合的默认属性
ConnectedOPCServer.OPCGroups.DefaultGroupIsActive = True
ConnectedOPCServer.OPCGroups.DefaultGroupDeadband = 0
'添加组
ConnectedGroup = ConnectedOPCServer.OPCGroups.Add()
ConnectedGroup.UpdateRate = 3 * 1000 '刷新虑,用于下面的DataChange事件
ConnectedGroup.IsSubscribed = True '使用订阅功能
'添加项
GlobalOPCItems(0) = ConnectedGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("Reader_Device.OpenCard", 0)
GlobalOPCItems(1) = ConnectedGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("Reader_Device.CloseCard", 1)
GlobalOPCItems(2) = ConnectedGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("Reader_Device.CardNO", 2)
RefreshServerStatus() '刷新服务器状态
Catch ex As Exception
ConnectedOPCServer = Nothing
MessageBox.Show("OPC server connect failed : " + ex.Message, "OPCSample", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
End Try
ResetControlStatus()
End If
End Sub
(五) :读写操作与事件控制
读写操作包括同步和异步两种操作方式,以下是这几个方法的原型:
Group的同步读事件
Sub SyncRead(ByVal Source As Short, ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ServerHandles As System.Array, ByRef Values As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array, Optional ByRef Qualities As Object = Nothing, Optional ByRef TimeStamps As Object = Nothing)
Group的同步写事件
Sub SyncWrite(ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ServerHandles As System.Array, ByRef Values As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array)
Group的异步读事件
Sub AsyncRead(ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ServerHandles As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array, ByVal TransactionID As Integer, ByRef CancelID As Integer)
Group的异步写事件
Sub AsyncWrite(ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ServerHandles As System.Array, ByRef Values As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array, ByVal TransactionID As Integer, ByRef CancelID As Integer)
如果使用异步的读写操作,那么还需要实现Group中的ReadComplete和WriteComplete两个事件
Public Event AsyncReadComplete(ByVal TransactionID As Integer, ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ClientHandles As System.Array, ByRef ItemValues As System.Array, ByRef Qualities As System.Array, ByRef TimeStamps As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array)
Public Event AsyncWriteComplete(ByVal TransactionID As Integer, ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ClientHandles As System.Array, ByRef Errors As System.Array)
其他相关的重要事件包括:
Group数据变化时的通知事件
Public Event DataChange(ByVal TransactionID As Integer, ByVal NumItems As Integer, ByRef ClientHandles As System.Array, ByRef ItemValues As System.Array, ByRef Qualities As System.Array, ByRef TimeStamps As System.Array)
Group的异步取消事件
Public Event AsyncCancelComplete(ByVal CancelID As Integer)
Server(服务器)关闭通知事件
Public Event ServerShutDown(ByVal Reason As String)
以下是这些实现的代码段
'读取卡片指定的块号的值
Private Sub btnReadCard_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not (ConnectedGroup Is Nothing) Then
Try
'获取块号
Dim BlockNo As Short = CByte(ReadBlockNo.Text)
'如果要获取数据的块所对应的项还没有创建,就创建它
If GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo) Is Nothing Then
GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo) = ConnectedGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("Reader_Device.Block" & CStr(BlockNo), 200 + BlockNo)
End If
'准备参数数组
Dim ServerResults As System.Array
Dim ServerErrors As System.Array
Dim ServerHandles(1) As Integer
ServerHandles(1) = GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo).ServerHandle
'读取值
ConnectedGroup.SyncRead(OPCAutomation.OPCDataSource.OPCDevice, 1, ServerHandles, ServerResults, ServerErrors)
If ServerErrors(1) <> 0 Then
MsgBox("Read Card Failed:" & ServerErrors(1))
Else
txtReadBlockNo.Text = ServerResults(1)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("OPC server Read Card failed: " + ex.Message, "OPCSample", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
End Try
End If
End Sub
'写卡片指定块的值
Private Sub btnWriteCard_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not (ConnectedGroup Is Nothing) Then
Try
'获取块号
Dim BlockNo As Short = CByte(WriteBlockNo.Text)
'如果要写入数据的块所对应的项还没有创建,就创建它
If GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo) Is Nothing Then
GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo) = ConnectedGroup.OPCItems.AddItem("Reader_Device.Block" & CStr(BlockNo), 200 + BlockNo)
End If
'准备参数数组
Dim ServerValues(1) As Object
Dim ServerErrors As Array
Dim ServerHandles(1) As Integer
ServerHandles(1) = GlobalOPCBlockItems(BlockNo).ServerHandle
ServerValues(1) = txtWriteBlockNo.Text
'写入值
ConnectedGroup.SyncWrite(1, ServerHandles, ServerValues, ServerErrors)
If ServerErrors(1) <> 0 Then
MsgBox("Write Card Failed:" & ServerErrors(1))
Else
MsgBox("Write Card Succeed")
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("OPC server Write Card failed: " + ex.Message, "OPCSample", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
End Try
End If
End Sub
(六) :断开服务器
断开服务器只要使用OPCServer的Disconnect方法几个,以下是代码段:
'断开到指定OPC服务器的连接
Private Sub btnDisconnectServer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisconnectServer.Click
If Not (ConnectedOPCServer Is Nothing) Then
Try
ConnectedOPCServer.Disconnect()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("OPC server disconnect failed: " + ex.Message, "OPCSample", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
Finally
ConnectedOPCServer = Nothing
ResetControlStatus()
End Try
End If
End Sub
