Dear Team,

 

I am new to OPC UA and tried building OPC server from the github basic code.

I want to know how can the OPC server be classified as OPC DA ( data access ) or OPC  A&E  or OPC HDA while coding.

with thanks and regards;

Rajesh

OPC DA/OPC AE/OPC HDA are terms used to describe applications that conform to the DCOM based OPCClassic specifications.

OPC UA is called “Unified Architecture” because it eliminates the distinctions between a DA/AE/HDA application. Its a single application that can have all of those capabilities.

The code in GitHub is OPC UA code.

Dear Randy,

Thanks for the quick response. Does this means that there technically (in code) there is nor difference among the  OPC DA/OPC AE/OPC HDA

It is the functionality of the server which defines the Server type . i.e. Data Access , Alarms & Event and Historical Data Access.

Please confirm.

Best regards;

Rajesh

There are difference code paths that need to be implemented for different features, however, there is no distinction between a DA/AE/HDA server in OPC UA. he equivalent of an AE server would be a OPC UA that implements one or more of the AC profiles.
