open62541

An open-source communication stack implementation of OPC UA (OPC Unified Architecture) licensed under LGPL + static linking exception.

What is currently working?

The project is in an early stage. We retain the right to break APIs until a first stable release.

• Binary serialization of all data types: 100%
• Node storage and setup of a minimal namespace zero: 100%
• Standard OPC UA Clients can connect/open a SecureChannel/open a Session: 100%
• Browsing/reading and writing attributes: 100%
• Advanced SecureChannel and Session Management: 75%

Documentation

The developer documentation is generated from Doxygen annotations in the source code (http://open62541.org/doc). Build instruction can be found under https://github.com/acplt/open62541/wiki/Building-open62541.
