Introduction
OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a machine to machine communication protocol for industrial automation developed by the OPC Foundation.
Features
EdgeSense OPC-UA Client aims to collect data from OPC-UA Server and control.
Feature:
- Connection with multiple OPC-UA server and multiple Node ID.
- Support anonymous authentication, username/password authentication.
- Support individual node data update interval of subscription.
- Configurable node alias.
- Currently support up-link OPC-UA data to WISE-PaaS , not support down-link from WISE-PaaS.
- Detailed features, please see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hxUJgHvcPYq8f44gmVVmwUCddHhOPBflSRkSKR0H9Q4/edit?ts=5ca2bfc9#gid=348272669
