OPC-UA Client

Driver for developers of Interconnections Transition 4.0

Anyone offering solutions for Digital Transformation cannot ignore the direct connection with production machines and plants. The exchange of information between production management systems (MES-ERP) and the SCADA/HMI-PLC layer has become indispensable.

Most of the new machines have been equipped with OPC-UA servers to facilitate interconnection projects, and OPC-UA is becoming the most widely used protocol for these types of projects.

To benefit developers of production MES or management systems, Automa has made available the OPC-UAC (DLL) driver, an OPC-UA Client for the Windows environment. It is often the case that developers/integrators of production management systems have not yet explored the OPC-UA protocol: having a ready-to-use driver can be an undoubted advantage.

Using the built-in configuration tool, you can browse the various OPC-UA servers and items found on networked machines and make them available to your software.

The OPC-UAC driver is available in the freedownload of our site. The download is free of charge. Without activating the license, the driver will run for 15 minutes each time, so you can check functionality before purchasing.

For developers who prefer, for the MES-ERP side, to use SQL Databases, Automa is able to develop specific software gateways that act as a pure interface between MES and SCADA/HMI or that also implement typical application logic to meet the peculiar requirements of I4.0 interconnections

The driver is also available on th Component Source platform is the world's largest superstore of developer software, of which Automa is a Professional Partner.
