OPC-DA Driver

Information

OPC-DA is an older standard for communicating live industrial data between systems.

Although we suggest upgrading your systems to the newer OPC-UA whever possible (this can be done using OPC-UA wrappers, leaving your existing infrastructure in place), we continue to support DA for legacy applications.
