Simple java OPC UA Client

Module Development
1

Hello,

I would like to create a really simple java application to get some opc variables …

Is anybody can provide me some sample code ?
(connections to opc server, get tag values, etc.)

Many Thanks,

Laurent

You should be using a Java-based OPC-UA SDK to accomplish this, not the Ignition module SDK, which does not provide a general purpose UA SDK.

Try the Prosys client SDK… it looks pretty easy to get started with.

Is there any open-source alternative to this?

Not that I’m aware of.

Read the Prosys documentation.

I believe they have sample code as well.

You can connect to an OPC UA server via Node-RED… I’ve used it in the past for some quick mockups… Worth a look:

Granted, this doesn’t help you if you must have it in Java, but alas, it is a nice quick way to get some data out.
