.NET Based OPC UA Client & Server SDK (Bundle)

The UA SDK consist of three assemblies that support you in writing .NET OPC UA Servers and Clients. The UA SDK actually consists of three Libraries, the C# Base Library, C# Server Library and C# Client Library. The Base Library contains the native UA Stack and supports the UA Binary protocol and web service binding.

The .NET based Server SDK is bundled with the Client SDK. See the Client SDK product page for more information.

The SDK supports .NET Framework 4.8 and Standard 2.1 (Core3.1) and comes with examples as Visual Studio 2019 project files including simple to use NuGet packages. Since SDK v3.2 we support also the new .NET 6.

The pre-built SDK binaries are pure .NET assemblies which means they can be used on any processor architecture supported by the .NET Framework. The SDK assemblies for .NET Standard 2.1 (Core 3.1) and .NET 6 can run on Windows and Linux.
