Installing OPC UA on SCADAPack using Node-RED

You can install OPC UA on SCADAPack via Node-RED using two methods:

Method 1: Update the Bundle_NodeRed.sh Script

• Modify the SDK script Bundle_NodeRed.sh to include node-red-contrib-opcua.

Method 2: Install from Node-RED Palette

• Requires internet connectivity on the SCADAPack Edge device.

Here, I have used two packages to demonstrate these two methods(node-red-contrib-opcua, node-red-contrib-iiot-opcua )

Method 1: Update the Bundle_NodeRed.sh Script

(No internet required on SCADAPack Edge)

1. Locate the SDK script Bundle_NodeRed.sh on your development system.
2. Edit the script to include the package:
   node-red-contrib-opcua

3. Save the updated script.
4. Deploy the modified script to the SCADAPack Edge board.
5. Open Node-RED in a browser.
6. Navigate to Manage Palette → Nodes.

7. Verify that the OPC UA package is listed as installed.

Method 2: Install from Node-RED Palette

(Requires internet connectivity on SCADAPack Edge)

1. Ensure the SCADAPack Edge board has an active internet connection.
2. Open Node-RED in a browser.
3. Go to Manage Palette → Install.
4. Search for:
   node-red-contrib-iiot-opcua

5. Click Install and wait for completion.

6. Confirm the package appears under Manage Palette → Nodes.
