OPC UA DA Client
OPC UA is a worldwide standard in the industrial sector. Devices (e.g. PLCs or gateways) and software (e.g. MES, PPS or Historian) are equipped with OPC UA servers.
All these systems can instantly communicate with the OPC UA client, which is integrated in the FlowChief system. The standardized OPC UA stack provides many benefits in engineering, security, flexibility and functional scope through its consistent communication layer. The user profits from a maximum of future reliability and wide flexibility.
