Requirement
To test the connection, you can use the "Sample Applications" of the OPC Foundation
opcfoundation.org/developer-tools/specifications-unified-architecture/opc-unified-

is necessary to register with the OPC Foundation for this.
Note
There are two ways to establish the connection:
● Connection without security
● Connection with the security policy "Basic128Rsa15" respectively "Basic256" and the

confidentiality of the data transmitted can be ensured.
