    What is the OPC UA Server Simulator - Full Edition used for?

    The OPC UA Server Simulator - Full Edition is designed for developers, system integrators, and end-users to simulate both real-time and historical data based on the OPC UA standard. It allows you to test and validate OPC UA Client applications, making it ideal for system testing, troubleshooting, and training.

    What OPC UA data models does the simulator support?

    The OPC UA Server Simulator - Full Edition supports data access and historical access information models. These allow clients to access real-time and historical data, which is vital for testing OPC UA communications.

    What is an OPC UA Wrapper?

    OPC UA Wrapper is a plug and play software product that enables users to easily migrate to OPC UA. It includes 2 components:
    • The wrapper, to allow OPC UA clients to communicate with OPC Classic servers. It supports OPC Data Access, OPC Historical Data Access and OPC Alarms & Events servers.
    • The proxy, to allow OPC Classic clients to communicate with OPC UA servers. It supports OPC UA DA, HA and AC capabilities.

    What is an OPC UA proxy

    The OPC UA Proxy is a feature component of the OPC UA Wrapper. It allows converting an OPC UA Server to an OPC Classic Server and consequently establishing communications between OPC Classic Clients and OPC UA Servers.
