OPC UA PubSub Development

The OPC UA PubSub NET offers a fast and easy access to the OPC Unified Architecture (UA) functionality described in Part 14 of the OPC Unified Architecture Specification, also known as OPC UA PubSub. The OPC UA PubSub communication model defines an OPC UA Publish/Subscribe pattern instead of the client/server pattern defined by the services in Part 4 of the OPC UA Specification.

OPC UA PubSub allows distributing data and events from an OPC UA information source to interested observers inside a device network as well as in IT and analytics cloud systems.

Typically, a Publisher will be an OPC UA Server and a Subscriber is often an OPC UA Client, but it is also possible that OPC UA Clients can be Publishers and OPC UA Servers can be Subscribers. It is even possible to use the OPC Ua PubSub .NET without integrating it into an OPC UA Client or OPC UA Server application.

Develop OPC UA PubSub compliant Publishers and Subscribers with C# targeting .NET 7.0 or .NET 6.0. For backward compatibility we also provide .NET 4.8 support.

.NET 7.0 and .NET 6.0 allows you develop applications that run on all common platforms available today, including Linux, macOS and Windows 8.1/10/11 (including embedded/IoT editions) without requiring platform-specific modifications.
