OPC UA .NET Server SDK

How to use

The OPC UA .NET Server SDK enables the development of OPC UA server applications according to OPC UA v1.03 and higher. To implement a server, it is sufficient to define the data nodes (see below). The IP address and the transport protocol are defined with the default values "localhost:4840" and "opc.tcp". No membership in the OPC Foundation and no licence other than that for Traeger's SDK is required for development!

An OPC UA server can be realised with a few lines of code. The OPC UA Server shown below provides a data node including the string value "Hello World!".

The provision of the desired data nodes works without multi-line "node setup". Any .NET language such as C#, VB.NET and C++/CLI can be used for programming. The interfaces themselves only differ in terms of the programming language used.

Undecided?

OPC UA servers must be accessed? The SDK is also available as OPC UA .NET Client SDK without and with support for OPC Classic (consisting of OPC DA, OPC HDA and OPC AE)!

Do you want to equip a component, control system or plant with an OPC UA server? This can be done quickly and easily without programming with our OPC UA middleware: Codabix Industrial IoT

The data from different data sources/sinks should be merged into one OPC UA server, retrievable via REST API, stored in a database, forwarded to other devices or simply visualised? Take a look at our OPC UA Middleware: Codabix Industrial Edge
