OPC UA Toolkit

November 2020, 376230C-01

The LabVIEW OPC UA Toolkit includes VIs for exchanging data between OPC UA servers and clients.

OPC Unified Architecture (UA) is an OPC Foundation specification for device connectivity. Unlike the classic OPC specification, which uses Microsoft DCOM/COM-based technology, OPC UA is platform-independent and able to connect servers and clients over various types of networks that have access to a common address space. OPC UA servers and clients use unique certificates to provide authentication and encryption capabilities to protect data when servers and clients communicate with each other.

Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code exxt3g to understand the importance of OPC UA and for a comparison between OPC UA and classic OPC. Refer to the OPC Foundation website at www.opcfoundation.org for more information about OPC UA specifications.
