Overview
This standard deals with the representation and use of automation data in OPC UA Servers. They can be located inside OPC UA servers, on I/O cards directly connected to the OPC UA Server or in sub-servers connected by serial links via field buses. OPC UA Data Access Servers provide one or more OPC UA Data Access Clients with transparent access to their automation data. The responsible committee is K 931 "Systemaspekte" ("System aspects") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
