OPC-UA Client
Connectors MIT (Free)
About
OPC-UA is the primary vendor-neutral communication standard for industrial automation. The Paramus connector uses asyncua (Python) to browse the address space, read/write nodes by NodeId or by browsePath, and subscribe to data changes. Compatible with Siemens, Beckhoff, Rockwell, Yokogawa and other OPC-UA certified devices. No vendor license required; OPC-UA server must be licensed/activated on the device side.
Key Features
- Node browse, read, write by NodeId or path
- Data-change subscriptions
- Security modes: None, Sign, SignAndEncrypt
- Asynchronous I/O (asyncio)
