Yes, OPC UA Proxy is designed to be completely transparent to existing OPC DA, HDA, and AE client applications. No changes to your current software are required – simply point your clients to the proxy instead of the original server.
The proxy manages the security transition by implementing OPC UA's robust security features (encryption, authentication, certificates) while maintaining compatibility with OPC Classic clients that may have limited security capabilities. To avoid DCOM configuration issues and security vulnerabilities, make sure to install the OPC UA proxy in the same machine as your client appplication.
OPC UA Proxy supports incremental migration. You can migrate individual connections, servers, or entire systems at your own pace while maintaining operational continuity.
OPC UA Proxy fully supports OPC HDA to OPC UA Historical Access mapping, ensuring seamless access to historical data through both classic and modern interfaces without data loss.
OPC UA Proxy supports OPC UA specifications and works with any OPC UA server. We've tested compatibility with major vendors including Siemens, ABB, Rockwell, and others.
