The official OPC Foundation reference implementation of the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) protocol for .NET, providing client, server, PubSub, and GDS libraries. It is a certified, cross-platform industrial communication stack used in manufacturing, energy, and IoT systems.

Use cases

  • build an OPC UA client to read industrial sensor data
  • implement an OPC UA server for a PLC or device
  • exchange telemetry between factory equipment and cloud via PubSub
  • integrate manufacturing systems with ISA-95 or AAS companion specs
  • connect industrial IoT gateways to SCADA systems
  • add secure machine-to-machine communication in .NET

When to choose

  • you need a certified, standards-compliant OPC UA stack in .NET
  • you need cross-platform support including .NET 8/9/10 and AOT
  • you require coverage of OPC UA companion specifications like Alarms, Historical Access, or Robotics
  • you want the official reference implementation maintained by the OPC Foundation

When to avoid

  • you need OPC UA in a non-.NET language like Java, Python, or C++
  • you only need lightweight MQTT or Modbus communication without OPC UA semantics
  • you target platforms unsupported by .NET Standard 2.1 or later
