A native Go implementation of the OPC/UA Binary Protocol for industrial automation communication. It provides client and server functionality for reading, writing, and subscribing to nodes on OPC-UA endpoints with support for security policies and encryption.

Use cases

  • connect to an OPC-UA server from Go
  • read and write industrial PLC data over opc.tcp
  • subscribe to OPC-UA node value changes
  • implement a secure OPC-UA client with SignAndEncrypt
  • integrate SCADA or ICS systems with a Go application
  • build an OPC-UA server in Go

When to choose

  • you need OPC-UA connectivity in a Go program without CGo or external dependencies
  • you want a pure-Go, MIT-licensed client for industrial data acquisition
  • you need encryption and authentication support for OPC-UA connections

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured commercial-grade OPC-UA stack with certification
  • your project is not in Go
  • you need the complete OPC-UA feature set such as complex event handling or historical access (HA)
