ConditionType not found

[sebastien_a]

Hi Unified Automation team,

If I browse the lesson 5 adressSpace, I can't find the "ConditionType" under "BaseEventType".
But if I browse the lesson 6 adressSpace, I find the "ConditionType" (see attached picture)



Why can't I find this type in lesson 5? because "ConditionType" is an OPC Foundation type...
Could you maybe explain how to activate this type because I didn't found the right way to do this in lesson 6.

Best Regards

(sorry, I can't upload the picture but the idea is there)

Ok, I found the solution.
You create ConditionType when you initialise the OpcUa::OffNormalAlarmType

I assumed it would be not necessary to instanciate this class because ConditionType is in NamespaceIndex 0 (relative to OPC foundation I assume)

Hi Sebastien,

The condition types are only added to the address space if they are used since not every server supports Alarms & Conditions.

The types are created automatically if a condition is used. Super types are created automatically.

If you know that your server will use certain condition types but they are not always present, you can call the static method used to register the event type in the start-up code of your server. The method is Base::createTypes() like OffNormalAlarmTypeBase::createTypes()
