OPCUA Driver

The OPCUA driver enables Plant SCADA to communicate with a system that implements the OPC UA server standard for data access. The server endpoint needs to support OPC.TCP binary protocol.

Note: It is recommended that you use the OPCUA driver with a version of Plant SCADA that is fully supported in accordance with AVEVA's Software Support Lifecycle and Retirement Policy. The driver will work with Citect SCADA 2016 or later (or a later version of Plant SCADA), however it will not be fully tested or supported on these earlier versions. Search the AVEVA Support Site Technology Matrix to determine the support status for your current version of Plant SCADA.

Citect SCADA 2016 or later (or a later version of Plant SCADA) is required to use the OPCUA Driver.

The driver uses the Unified Automation OPC UA Client SDK v1.7.7.

Note: If you are installing the OPCUA driver on a legacy version of Plant SCADA (2020 R2 or earlier), you will need to manually install PCS Framework 7.0.0. See Manually Install PCS Framework.
