OPC XML DA Converter

OPC DA converter server that enables OPC DA client to access XML DA servers.

The OPC-DA Client to XML-DA Server Gateway (XDAGW-CS) enables OPC DA client applications to access XML -DA servers.
The XML-DA Gateway offers a way to allow existing OPC DA client applications access to remote servers and to upgrade step-by-step to web services technology.
The gateway is provided in version for IIS web services  and one for WCF. 
WCF offers more communications options but is useful only when both sides, client and server, are WCF based.

XDAGW-CS is an OPC DA V2/V3 compliant server with a built-in XML-DA V1.01 compliant client.
It enables OPC DA clients to access devices with XML-DA servers.
The gateway creates XML-DA subscriptions for all items referenced by a client and updates its data cache periodically. The clients can read data quickly out of the cache.

 

Why use OPC XML-DA?
The main reason for using the gateway is to enable OPC DA clients to access remote servers.
OPC XML-DA provides the foundation for multi-platform interoperability because it is based on Web Services communication instead of the Windows specific DCOM. It simplifies sharing and exchange of data among the various levels of the plant hierarchy (low level devices and up to enterprise systems), and to a wider range of platforms.
XML DA is a rather simple specification that is easy to implement on all web services platforms. The functionality is restricted to functionality defined in the OPC DA specification. 
If access to Historical and Alarms&Events servers is required the COMtoUA Converter has to be used instead.

 

Security
Web services don't provide a high level of security. Using HTTPS is the only option.
The gateway implements effective security measures. It can be configured to restrict the server access to an item subset. E.g. make some items read-only or allow only a subset of the items to be accessed.

The XDAGW-SS gateway is provided in a version for .NET3 that can be configured for secure communication.
In communication with a .NET3 based XML DA server, any WCF communication bindings can be used, including X.509 certificates
