1. In OPC UA, NodeIds are supposed to be stable and unique, but in CODESYS the runtime usually generates them automatically for instances created via the Communication Manager. That’s why you see those “opaque” / numeric NodeIds. &lt;br/&gt;
2. What you can do is control how your application variables are mapped into the OPC UA address space (via symbol configuration). Those NodeIds will usually follow the namespace and symbol path, which is more readable.&lt;br/&gt;
3. Yes — this is the more structured approach. You can create ObjectTypes, VariableTypes, and instances directly in UaModeler, export them as NodeSet2 XML, and then import that XML into CODESYS as an information model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry><entry><title>Opaque NodeId in the OPC UA server</title><link href="https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/a8a3bdb8d7/?limit=25#51db" rel="alternate"/><published>2025-09-19T02:42:31.587000Z</published><updated>2025-09-19T02:42:31.587000Z</updated><author><name>analyzetasty</name><uri>https://forge.codesys.com/u/analyzetasty/</uri></author><id>https://forge.codesys.com0f4b16a8797ff1335ef6c608c2fe6c9e7db41bee</id><summary type="html">&lt;div class="markdown_content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A big part of what makes &lt;a href="https://blood-money.io/" rel="nofollow"&gt;bloodmoney&lt;/a&gt; so great is how it encourages players to be creative by giving them a lot of tools and mechanics to play around with and not telling them how to use them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry><entry><title>Opaque NodeId in the OPC UA server</title><link href="https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/a8a3bdb8d7/?limit=25#df90" rel="alternate"/><published>2025-04-03T18:36:03.700000Z</published><updated>2025-04-03T18:36:03.700000Z</updated><author><name>dat422</name><uri>https://forge.codesys.com/u/dat422/</uri></author><id>https://forge.codesys.comc82a295d8934ae2f5f268e674a0494f905379900</id><summary type="html">&lt;div class="markdown_content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi all,&lt;/p&gt;
