With the OPC UA Client App the ctrlX CORE can access each connected OPC UA server and retrieve the provided data. Together with the OPC UA Server app, a standardized machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is possible. The data which the OPC UA Client reads are made available in the ctrlX CORE data layer. Thus, these data are available to all apps on the ctrlX CORE.
