  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING A TRANSACTION CONCEPT IN OPC UA BY MEANS OF A TIMEOUT MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20170161122
    Abstract: In the OPC UA request header, there exists the field “TimeoutHint”, by means of which the client can indicate the point in time from which the client is no longer interested in the result of an operation. When this time has expired, the server sends a response that the execution of the operation has been terminated. According to the invention, the semantics of the field “TimeoutHint” in the OPC UA request header are used differently. The meaning of the “TimeoutHint” is changed in such a way that the “TimeoutHint” no longer indicates the latest point in time at which an operation should be executed, but rather the earliest point in time.
