How to configure more than 1000 variables?

Post by GEPlainville »

I have a lot more than 1000 variables.

However, when I bring up "Set Default NodeIds" in the UaModeler, regardless of how I change the numbers, I am limited to 1000 variables.

How do I remove this limitation?

Thank you

There is no limitation of the number of Variables.
The numbers set in the "Set Default NodeIds" dialog are the numeric identifiers that are used to find unused numeric identifiers for new NodeIds. E.g. if the value 6001 is set for Variables, the NodeId of a new Variable will have the numeric identifier that is greater or eqaul than 6001 and is not used by any other node in the model.

The only problem is, there is overlapping. For example, I specify Variables as 6000->12000. And it puts all my variables in that range.

However, it starts methods at 7000, even though I told it to start methods at 12001.

It is true that the numbers are unique, but they are interleaved, which leads to confusion.

Is there anyway to avoid this?

We tested the described issue with current UaModeler. When changing the settings for Methods new Method nodes will get numeric identifiers higher or equal than the new setting. Note that the setting is only used for newly created nodes.
So the behavior of UaModeler is as described in the documentation.
