OPC UA in CVI

[Tomsaw]

Dear CVI experts!

What do you recommend to connect to an OPC UA server ?

I already asked the NI technical support and the response was, at present it would be the best to use a third party product ...

Do you have any other suggestions ? I was used to use the functionality of CVI for "classical" OPC (and Netvars and Datasocket and ...).

It was so easy ...

You could try with Datasockets like you are used to. Did you made a simple VI to test it ? 

Best regards

But I have to say that I'M also not a fan of DSC and OPC Servers.

Dear Matijas,

thank you for your replay!

First thing is: It was about LabWindows/CVI - so I think VIs is in LabView - isn't it ?

I tried the "classical" approach, but I don't even have the possibility to select URL etc. because "OPC UA" is not COM based. It's a complete different technology.

Best Regards,

   Tom

Hi I also have this same question.  Is there any update since 2014?

Here you can find a link to an open source library that could work (test in CVI needed).
