OPC UA Client

Supported pipeline types:
  • Data Collector

The OPC UA Client origin processes data from an OPC UA server. The OPC UA Client origin can poll the server at regular intervals, returning the latest data from all specified nodes. Or it can subscribe to specific nodes and receive messages from the server each time a change related to a specified node occurs.

The origin can also browse all available nodes to provide the node details that you need to configure the origin.

When you configure the OPC UA Client origin, you specify connection information and tag information to associate with each client request. You select the processing mode for the origin and specify the NodeIds for the nodes you want to use. You can use one of several different methods to provide the NodeIds.

You can configure channel properties, such as the maximum chunk or message size. You can optionally configure the security policy that you want to use, related TLS properties, and an optional client private key alias.
