Model Import

Model Import can be used to create a model from a custom JSON payload, an existing Input, or an OPC UA Node Set. It can be performed by pressing Import Model from the Model list page. Existing Models are replaced when an existing Model with the same name as the imported Model(s) already exists.

Input Reference

To import from an existing Input Reference, set the Import Type to Input and Input Type to Input Reference. Use the Reference Panel to select the desired input, optionally specify other model configuration, and press Submit. During import, the specified input reference is read and a new model is created based on the data returned by the input. The input must return an object in order for a model to be created. The Path may be used to a specific element of the data returned by the input.

JSON Payload

To import from a custom JSON payload, set the Import Type to Input and Input Type to JSON Payload. Paste the JSON payload, optionally specify other model configuration, and press Submit. A new model will be created using the specified JSON payload. Only objects are supported.

OPC UA Node Set

To import using OPC UA Node Set XML, set the Import Type to OPC UA. Use Choose Files to select the Node Set XML files that define the OPC UA Information Models (and dependencies), optionally specify other model configuration, and press Submit.

During import from an OPC UA Node Set, a Model will be created for all Object and Variable types defined in the Node Set XML files.
