Traditional OPC UA Servers/Clients

OpcUaDeviceRepository

This repository consists of device driver implementations, each providing an OPC UA interface. The OPC UA interface is implemented using the open62541 C library which is encapsulated within the leightweight C++ Wrapper (see subfolder Open62541CppWrapper). Individual devices might have additional, platform-specific dependencies related to the respectivelly used device library.
