This tutorial will describe how to collect data from an OPC-UA device and publish them on a cloud platform using Wires. The OPC-UA server device will be emulated using a bundle running on ESF.

Configure OPC-UA server simulator

Download the OPC-UA server simulator bundle and install it on ESF. It will create a simulated OPC-UA server that exposes some sensors (light, temperature and water sensor) and some actuators (buzzer, led and fan).
On the Kura web interface, select OPCUA Server demo in Services and set server.port to 1234. Click the Apply button. This will start an OPC-UA server on port 1234.

Configure Wires OPC-UA application

Install the OPC-UA driver from Eclipse Kura Marketplace
Use the local ESF Administrative Web Interface to create a new OPC-UA driver instance:
- Select Drivers and Assets, click the New Driver button
- Select org.eclipse.kura.driver.opcua, type in a name, and click Apply: a new service will show up under Services.
Configure the new service as follows:
- endpoint.ip: localhost
- endpoint.port: 1234
- server.name: leave blank
Click on Wires under System
Add a new Timer component and configure the interval at which the OPC-UA server will be sampled
Add a new Asset with the previously added OPC-UA driver
Configure the new OPC-UA asset, adding new Channels as shown in the following image.

Add a new Publisher component and configure the chosen cloud platform stack in cloud.service.pid option
Add a Logger component
Connect the Timer to the Asset, and the Asset to the Publisher and Logger as shown in the image below.
Click on Apply and check the logs and the cloud platform in order to verify that the data is correctly published.
