OPC browse - IA Labs Scripting

bzink · February 27, 2014, 9:52pm

Calling system.opc.browse is timing out. This is on Windows Server 2008, java 1.7.0_45, ignition 7.6.4, IA Labs Scripting 1.6.4 (b14). My computer is running Windows 7, java 1.7.0_51.

Here’s the example code:

tags = system.opc.browse(device="device_name")
i=0
for row in tags:
    print row.getOpcServer(), row.getOpcItemPath(), row.getType(), row.getDisplayName(), row.getDisplayPath(), row.getDataType()
    i=i+1
    if i >5:
    	break

Here’s the error:

What kind of device are you trying to browse?

bzink · March 3, 2014, 4:42pm

AB CompactLogix 1769-L32E

Do you have an update on a solution to this?

dave.fogle · April 16, 2014, 3:16pm

Basically what’s happening here likely has to do with the fact that the browse opc function parses through the entire tree of devices and tags on the system before being able to filter the list down to just the device you want. If you disabled your other devices in your gateway and then tried to browse your device again the script would likely finish without error. Unfortunately right now there is no workaround for this, but there are some changes being made for 7.7 which should make this browse functionality better in cases of browsing systems with multiple devices connected.
