IIoT OPC Client Connector
Easily connect OPC DA and UA clients to OAS tag values and get more from your Industry 4.0 data. Need an OPC DA to OPC UA gateway, or looking to connect an OPC DA client to an OPC UA server? The OAS Platform makes it simple.
Enable OPC Clients to Connect with OAS Data
The OPC Client Connector product authorizes unlimited local and remote OPC UA and OPC DA Clients for read and write access to OAS tag values.
Incorporate real-time data with PLCs, IoT cloud systems, .NET applications, and databases to enhance your connectivity within the OPC workspace. Allow your system's data to be shared with third-party OPC clients.

Industry 4.0 Data Sources
Modbus, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 Controllers, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, MTConnect, AWS IoT Core, Kafka, .NET, REST Clients, Databases
Unified Namespace
Merge different data sources into a single, comprehensive data model. Node IDs and OPC items adhere to the same tag naming convention that you define.
OPC UA Connectivity
Connect your OPC UA clients directly to the OAS Engine's built-in OPC UA server. Direct access to every tag's 700+ variables with no additional setup required.
OPC DA Connectivity
Allow classic OPC Data Access 2.x or 3.0 OPC Clients to connect to OAS through the OPCSystems.NET Server. This setup can act as either an OPC UA to DA converter or abd OPC DA to UA gateway.
Remote Networking
OAS features built-in networking syntax for direct access or proxy routing, enabling connectivity over LAN, WAN, VPN, or the Internet. This eliminates the need for DCOM when utilizing classic OPC DA connections, while enhancing performance for both OPC UA and OPC DA.
Data Protection
Utilize OAS security authentication to allow connectivity with user credentials and certificates with OPC UA. Security definitions permit access for browsing, reading, or writing values per site, group, tag, and variable.
Consolidate Connections
Establish a single connection to each data source, such as OPC servers, to share with multiple OPC clients. This approach enhances data throughput and lessens the communication load on each data provider, especially when using OAS as an OPC DA to UA converter.
Common Use Cases
OPC Server for Industry 4.0 Data
All OAS tag values allow read and write operations with various data types, including Modbus applications, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 controllers, OPC UA servers, OPC DA servers, MQTT, Sparkplug B, AWS IoT Core, and Kafka.
OPC Server for Databases
Configure tags with a data source from databases to enable access to SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. This allows for bi-directional access for OPC clients when the Database Connector and Data Historian products are activated.
Compute Values
Build custom equations with tag values using the calculation engine. Great for logic processing before pushing data through an OPC DA to OPC UA gateway or converter.
OPC Tunnel
Install OAS as close as possible to each OPC server to facilitate efficient routing of data. Utilize the OAS Distributed Network Architecture to enhance data flow and resolve network routing issues.
One Way Data
Use communication diodes to create unidirectional gateways. This keeps your secure networks safe while allowing outside OPC clients to access necessary data.
