Is there an open-source tool for drawing OPC UA graphical notation?

Do you know about some drawing tool that supports the Graphical Notation described in the OPC UA standard Part 3 Annex D?

The notation is similar to UML but has some extra elements that map nicely to the OPC UA information model (like different types of references). This is an example of the notation:

An example of the notation

It would be great if it was free, ideally open-source. Thanks.

If you have a Windows PC and Visio installed you can simply download the official Visio shape library form the OPC Foundation website: https://opcfoundation.org/guidelines-and-templates/

Yes Draw.io is good choise.

I have found recently one shape library for draw.io on github by Costantino Pipero. There are already created standard shapes.

enter image description here

You can just download .xml file and in draw.io you can import it in File -> Open Library from -> (choose from where you want import)

If you want edit this library or create your own - tutorial

There is a way to get the official OPC UA Specification Graphical Notation:

This requires a Windows PC with Office Word and Office Visio installed.

  1. Download the Companion Specification Template (free after registering): https://opcfoundation.org/developer-tools/specifications-unified-architecture/opc-ua-companion-specification-template/
  2. Open the Word Document
  3. Scroll to a Diagram in the first part of the document. Since all the drawings are embedded visio files, you can double-click to edit the graphical notation inplace.
  4. Then select the graphical notation and copy/paste it to a new Visio Document
  5. Use any part of the copied notation to create your own drawing

You can use draw.io: https://www.draw.io/

It's not an explicit tool for OPC UA but it supports all shapes, arrows and styling options.
