The Advosol OPC UA Server Toolkit bases on the OPC Foundation OPC UA SDK V1.1.331.0
It uses the same customization plug-in .NET assembly as the Advosol OPC DA, XML DA and Xi server toolkits.
With a single development effort users get data access servers for the OPC specifications:
|
The Advosol server toolkits consist of two parts:
- The generic server implements the server data model and handles the client interface for one of the OPC specifications.
- The application specific part is a .NET assembly (DLL) that handles the device interface and the server configuration.
The generic server interface is the same for all toolkit versions. |

Sample Servers
The uaPLUS server toolkit includes several sample servers with Visual Studio solutions.
The servers are kept simple so that they are easy to understand and adapt. Each server is designed to show a particular feature.
Users can select one of the sample servers as the base for their server project. Missing features can be copied form the other sample servers.
