iX' OPC UA server

[bjornidar]

Hi,

has anyone in here used the OPC UA server - builtin iX?

I need to develop a C# application (Windows forms) that communicate with an iX server, and would be happy to read some examples.

Hi,

Yes in many , many times but I had never used it with other C# application. I use it in iX Runtime [ as a OPC UA server ] with other iX HMI or iX HMI [ as server ] and with other iX HMI. If you want to make your own application using OPC I suggest go to https://opcfoundation.org/.

Ok..
As long as the iX Runtime runs as a Server it should be possible to connect a UA Client to it (I've succesfully done it with UaExpert).

What I wan't is to make a C# (.NET) application that communicates with the iX server.

From a quick google search I found Unified Automation created a C# library for creating a OPC client/server. Check out http://www.unified-automation.com/produ ... t-sdk.html

You can also make an OPC client yourself by making a new class that uses the System.Net.Sockets.TCPclient class to connect to the OPC server and communicate using OPC protocols.

Thank you, AMitchneck!
I've seen the SDK but haven't bought/ tried it.

Have you ever used the ...TCPclient? I would really appreciate an example
