Struct open62541::Client

pub struct Client(/* private fields */);

Connected OPC UA client.

This represents an OPC UA client connected to a specific endpoint. Once a client is connected to an endpoint, it is not possible to switch to another server. Create a new client for that.

Once a connection to the given endpoint is established, the client keeps the connection open and reconnects if necessary.

If the connection fails unrecoverably, the client is no longer usable. In this case create a new client if required.

Implementations

impl Client

pub fn new(endpoint_url: &str) -> Result<Self, Error>

Creates client connected to endpoint.

If you need more control over the initialization, use ClientBuilder instead, and turn it into Client by calling connect().

Errors

See ClientBuilder::connect().

Panics

See ClientBuilder::connect().

pub fn into_async(self, cycle_time: Duration) -> AsyncClient

Turns client into AsyncClient.

The AsyncClient can be used to access methods in an asynchronous way.

cycle_time controls the frequency at which the client will poll the server for responses in the background.
