The TwinCAT OPC UA Server makes the options of the new Unified Architecture specification available. In addition to data access techniques, the UA also specifies the data coding and the transport protocols. This enables platform-independence and therefore integration of the UA interface in smaller embedded devices. XML-based web services or an efficient TCP-based binary protocol according to the specification are available as communication types. In addition to exchange of complex data, optional security mechanisms for authentication and data encryption are available.
