This tutorial covers advanced patterns and use cases for OPC UA method calls, including complex parameter handling, method chaining, asynchronous execution, and integration with industrial workflows. These patterns demonstrate how to build sophisticated automation solutions using the OPC UA Call Node.
This tutorial shows how to add data to existing files on an OPC UA server without overwriting them.
This section covers how to use the OPC UA Browse node to navigate through the references of nodes in an OPC UA server.
This section covers how to use the OPC UA Call node to invoke methods on an OPC UA server.
You can call OPC UA methods using the OPC UA Call Node.
Learn how to visualize historical OPC UA data in Node-RED dashboards.
@opcua/for-node-red provides a convenient feature that allows you to check the connection to the OPC UA server. This feature is available in the OPC UA Endpoint tab.

Introduction
This section describes how to create and manage OPC UA connections in Node-RED using the @opcua/for-node-red package.
Learn how to handle errors and edge cases when reading historical data.
The OPC UA Explore node enables discovery and navigation of an OPC UA server's address space. It traverses the hierarchical structure of objects, variables, and methods, returning the results as a JSON object that mirrors the server's organization.
This section covers how to use the OPC UA File Operation node to read and write files stored on OPC UA servers that implement the FileType interface (ns=0;i=11575).
Welcome to OPC UA for Node-RED! This guide will help you get up and running with industrial automation using the OPC UA protocol in Node-RED.
This section covers how to use the OPC UA History Read node to retrieve historical data from OPC UA servers.
The easiest way to install the nodes is to use the Manage palette option in the Node-RED editor menu. In the Install tab, you can search for the @opcua/for-node-red package and click install. Once the installation is complete the nodes are available.
This section covers how to install and manage your OPC UA for Node-RED licence.
introduction
The OPC UA Monitor node enables real-time monitoring of variables on an OPC UA server. Unlike the Read node which retrieves values on demand, the Monitor node establishes subscriptions that automatically notify you when values change, making it ideal for continuous monitoring and alarm systems.
The OPC UA Monitor Event node enables real-time monitoring of events emitted by objects on an OPC UA server. Events represent discrete occurrences such as alarms, state changes, user actions, and system notifications.
