ua.client.TdOPCUAClient.MethodCall

If you want to call a method on a OPC UA Server.

Delphi

function MethodCall(ObjectId: string; MethodId: string; inputArguments: uaBaseDataTypeArray = nil): uaBaseDataTypeArray;

C++

__fastcall uaBaseDataTypeArray MethodCall(AnsiString ObjectId, AnsiString MethodId, uaBaseDataTypeArray inputArguments = null);

Description

Use this method if you want to call a method on a OPC UA Server.

The input arguments are specified by an array. The number of arguments and their types must conform to the method's requirements.

If the operation is successful, it returns an array of output arguments of the method call. The number of output arguments and their types are given by the UA method.

For further information about input and output arguments of a OPC UA method please look at the UACall example program.

Parameter	Description
ObjectId	The NodeId shall be that of the Object or ObjectType on which the Method is invoked. If you leave it empty the method detects the automatically the ObjectId. (look also at MethodGetParent)
MethodId	The NodeId as string of the Method to invoke.
inputArguments	List of input argument values. An empty list indicates that there are no input arguments.
Result	List of output argument values. An empty list indicates that there are no output arguments.
