TwinCAT OPC UA Server

The TwinCAT OPC UA Server makes the options of the new Unified Architecture specification available. In addition to data access techniques, the UA also specifies the data coding and the transport protocols. This enables platform-independence and therefore integration of the UA interface in smaller embedded devices. XML-based web services or an efficient TCP-based binary protocol according to the specification are available as communication types. In addition to exchange of complex data, security mechanisms for authentication and data encryption are integrated. The system enables protected data communication between two end points (e.g. visualisation and control) in a heterogeneous network.

The product includes an OPC UA server and an OPC UA client. The UA server offers data exchange of variables and calling of ADS methods. The UA client enables communication with other UA servers and facilitates integration of third-party products.
