- The implementation on application level can act as both Server and Client, you can configure it based on your requirements.
- It translates data in the UR robot program into OPC UA data and sends it over the network to the desired OPC UA Server/Client.
- It can receive data over the network from other OPC UA Servers/Clients and translate it into variables in the UR robot.
- It can receive and interpret multiple data points from different sources.
- Objects and variables of the OPC Robotics Information Model are automatically published when the server is enabled. No additional configuration is required.
