A native Go implementation of the OPC/UA Binary Protocol.
You need go1.13 or higher. We test with the current and previous Go version. See below for a list of Tested Platforms and Supported Features.
v0.2.4
and v0.2.5
are broken and should not be used. Please upgrade to v0.2.6
or later.
See #538 for details.
# make sure you have go1.17 or higher
# install library
go get -u github.com/gopcua/opcua
# get current date and time 'ns=0;i=2258'
go run examples/datetime/datetime.go -endpoint opc.tcp://localhost:4840
# read the server version
go run examples/read/read.go -endpoint opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -node 'ns=0;i=2261'
# get the current date time using different security and authentication modes
go run examples/crypto/*.go -endpoint opc.tcp://localhost:4840 -cert path/to/cert.pem -key path/to/key.pem -sec-policy Basic256 -sec-mode SignAndEncrypt
# checkout examples/ for more examples...
The gopcua
project is sponsored by the following organizations by supporting the active committers to the project:

We would also like to list organizations which use gopcua
in production. Please open a PR to include your logo below.
We are still actively working on this project and the APIs will change.
We have started to tag the code to support go modules and reproducible builds but there is still no guarantee of API stability.
However, you can safely assume that we are aiming to make the APIs as stable as possible. :)
The Current State was moved to the Wiki.
If you are looking for ways to contribute you can
- test the high-level client against real OPC/UA servers
- add functions to the client or tell us which functions you need for
gopcua
to be useful - work on the security layer, server and other components
- and last but not least, file issues, review code and write/update documentation
Also, if the library is already useful please spread the word as a motivation.
gopcua
is run in production by several companies and with different equipment.
The table below is an incomplete list of where and how gopcua
is used to provide
some guidance on the level of testing.
We would be happy if you can add your equipment to the list. Just open a PR :)
