Then go to bottom of this page find "Download the Qt online installer"

Use the included Designer software to start making GUI's

opcua-asyncio is an asyncio-based asynchronous OPC UA client and server based on python-opcua, removing support of python < 3.7. Asynchronous programming allows for simpler code (e.g. less need for locks) and potentially performance gains.

Qt is set of cross-platform C++ libraries that implement high-level APIs for accessing many aspects of modern desktop and mobile systems. These include location and positioning services, multimedia, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity, a Chromium based web browser, as well as traditional UI development.

PyQt5 is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for Qt v5. It is implemented as more than 35 extension modules and enables Python to be used as an alternative application development language to C++ on all supported platforms including iOS and Android.

Implemented

• read/set attributes and browse
• getting nodes by path and nodeids
• getting nodes form pre-built server modeler
• adding nodes to address space
• read from the correct PLC relay by referencing Nodes Display Name
• write to node of current value of PLC relay/data memory
• datachange events will trigger write to PLC relay/data memory
• multithreaded application to prevent GUI freeze
• read and write relay/data memory from client to server
• reduced input delay by imlpmenting asynchronous input output method
• server configuration and server settings file Not Needed
• server event and alarm logs Not Needed
• Server certificate and key for encryption (removed implementation of server encryption as it current SSL key generation does not meet security criteria, Not Needed)
• Light tower settings
• User level Restrictions settings
• User password change settings
• Light Tower input that correspond with device mode
• Re-configured pyqt signals data flow foir better efficiency
• Message box output when clicking Save button
• Each save action will output to UI Log

Tested clients: uaexpert

To DO:

• Integrate with new ui file Done
• Server logs export to CSV/TXT
• Integration with PyQt5 HMI Done
• Require server certificate to start connection with OPC server. Not needed
• Client logs export to CSV/TXT
• event and alarm logs (moved from server side to client side) Done
• Server events/methods Not needed
