PubSub¶
In PubSub the participating OPC UA Applications take their roles as Publishers and Subscribers. Publishers are the sources of data, while Subscribers consume that data. Communication in PubSub is message-based. Publishers send messages to a Message Oriented Middleware, without knowledge of what, if any, Subscribers there may be. Similarly, Subscribers express interest in specific types of data, and process messages that contain this data, without knowledge of what Publishers there are.
Message Oriented Middleware is software or hardware infrastructure that supports sending and receiving messages between distributed systems. OPC UA PubSub supports two different Message Oriented Middleware variants, namely the broker-less form and broker-based form. A broker-less form is where the Message Oriented Middleware is the network infrastructure that is able to route datagram-based messages. Subscribers and Publishers use datagram protocols like UDP. In a broker-based form, the core component of the Message Oriented Middleware is a message Broker. Subscribers and Publishers use standard messaging protocols like AMQP or MQTT to communicate with the Broker.
This makes PubSub suitable for applications where location independence and/or scalability are required.
The Publish/Subscribe (PubSub) extension for OPC UA enables fast and efficient 1:m communication. The PubSub extension is protocol agnostic and can be used with broker based protocols like MQTT and AMQP or brokerless implementations like UDP-Multicasting.
The PubSub API uses the following scheme:
- Create a configuration for the needed PubSub element.
- Call the add[element] function and pass in the configuration.
- The add[element] function returns the unique nodeId of the internally created element.
Take a look on the PubSub Tutorials for more details about the API usage:

PubSub Information Model Representation¶
The complete PubSub configuration is available inside the information model. The entry point is the node ‘PublishSubscribe’, located under the Server node. The standard defines for PubSub no new Service set. The configuration can optionally be done over methods inside the information model. The information model representation of the current PubSub configuration is generated automatically. This feature can be enabled/disabled by changing the UA_ENABLE_PUBSUB_INFORMATIONMODEL option.
Connections¶
The PubSub connections are the abstraction between the concrete transport protocol and the PubSub functionality. It is possible to create multiple connections with different transport protocols at runtime.
Take a look on the PubSub Tutorials for mor details about the API usage.

PublishedDataSets¶
The PublishedDataSets (PDS) are containers for the published information. The PDS contain the published variables and meta information. The metadata is commonly autogenerated or given as constant argument as part of the template functions. The template functions are standard defined and intended for configuration tools. You should normally create an empty PDS and call the functions to add new fields.

DataSetFields¶
The description of published variables is named DataSetField. Each DataSetField contains the selection of one information model node. The DataSetField has additional parameters for the publishing, sampling and error handling process.

Custom Callback Implementation¶
The user can use his own callback implementation for publishing and subscribing. The user must take care of the callback to call for every publishing or subscibing interval
typedef struct {

* will be provided as an argument to this callback so that the user can

UA_DateTime *baseTime, UA_TimerPolicy timerPolicy);
void (*removeCustomCallback)(UA_Server *server, UA_NodeId identifier, UA_UInt64 callbackId);
} UA_PubSub_CallbackLifecycle;
WriterGroup¶
All WriterGroups are created within a PubSubConnection and automatically deleted if the connection is removed. The WriterGroup is primary used as container for DataSetWriter and network message settings. The WriterGroup can be imagined as producer of the network messages. The creation of network messages is controlled by parameters like the publish interval, which is e.g. contained in the WriterGroup.
typedef enum {
UA_PUBSUB_ENCODING_BINARY,
UA_PUBSUB_ENCODING_JSON,
UA_PUBSUB_ENCODING_UADP
} UA_PubSubEncodingType;
WriterGroup¶
The message publishing can be configured for realtime requirements. The RT-levels go along with different requirements. The below listed levels can be configured:
UA_PUBSUB_RT_NONE - —> Description: Default “none-RT” Mode —> Requirements: - —> Restrictions: - UA_PUBSUB_RT_DIRECT_VALUE_ACCESS (Preview - not implemented) —> Description: Normally, the latest value for each DataSetField is read out of the information model. Within this RT-mode, the value source of each field configured as static pointer to an DataValue. The publish cycle won’t use call the server read function. —> Requirements: All fields must be configured with a ‘staticValueSource’. —> Restrictions: - UA_PUBSUB_RT_FIXED_LENGTH (Preview - not implemented) —> Description: All DataSetFields have a known, non-changing length. The server will pre-generate some buffers and use only memcopy operations to generate requested PubSub packages. —> Requirements: DataSetFields with variable size cannot be used within this mode. —> Restrictions: The configuration must be frozen and changes are not allowed while the WriterGroup is ‘Operational’. UA_PUBSUB_RT_DETERMINISTIC (Preview - not implemented) —> Description: - —> Requirements: - —> Restrictions: -
WARNING! For hard real time requirements the underlying system must be rt-capable.

DataSetWriter¶
The DataSetWriters are the glue between the WriterGroups and the PublishedDataSets. The DataSetWriter contain configuration parameters and flags which influence the creation of DataSet messages. These messages are encapsulated inside the network message. The DataSetWriter must be linked with an existing PublishedDataSet and be contained within a WriterGroup.

SubscribedDataSet¶
SubscribedDataSet describes the processing of the received DataSet. SubscribedDataSet defines which field in the DataSet is mapped to which Variable in the OPC UA Application. SubscribedDataSet has two sub-types called the TargetVariablesType and SubscribedDataSetMirrorType. SubscribedDataSetMirrorType is currently not supported. SubscribedDataSet is set to TargetVariablesType and then the list of target Variables are created in the Subscriber AddressSpace. TargetVariables are a list of variables that are to be added in the Subscriber AddressSpace. It defines a list of Variable mappings between received DataSet fields and added Variables in the Subscriber AddressSpace.

DataSetReader¶
DataSetReader can receive NetworkMessages with the DataSetMessage of interest sent by the Publisher. DataSetReaders represent the configuration necessary to receive and process DataSetMessages on the Subscriber side. DataSetReader must be linked with a SubscribedDataSet and be contained within a ReaderGroup.

ReaderGroup is used to group a list of DataSetReaders. All ReaderGroups are created within a PubSubConnection and automatically deleted if the connection is removed. All network message related filters are only available in the DataSetReader.
The RT-levels go along with different requirements. The below listed levels can be configured for a ReaderGroup.
- UA_PUBSUB_RT_NONE: RT applied to this level
- PUBSUB_CONFIG_FASTPATH_FIXED_OFFSETS: Extends PubSub RT functionality and implements fast path message decoding in the Subscriber. Uses a buffered network message and only decodes the necessary offsets stored in an offset buffer.
