What is a OPC server?

OPC is a client/server technology. One application acts as the server providing data, and the other acts as a client using data. OPC is a widely accepted industrial communication standard that enables the exchange of data between multi-vendor devices and control applications without any proprietary restrictions.

Can OPC UA client connect to OPC DA server?

Basic Usage. UaGateway can be connected to servers using multiple protocols: OPC UA TCP, OPC DA, OPC AE and OPC XML-DA. All these connections are published to other clients as OPC UA TCP, OPC DA and OPC AE servers.

What is OPC server and how it works?

The OPC server is a program that translates the hardware communication protocol used by a PLC into the OPC protocol. The OPC client software is a program that connects to the hardware, such as an HMI. The OPC client communicates with the OPC server to receive data or send commands to the hardware.
