NeuOPC converts the DA protocol to UA protocol and then acquires data through Neuron's existing OPC UA plug-in, all accessible points of the DA are mapped to the UA "namespace2" and the point The point IDs are consistent with those of the DA.
The NeuOPC component packages can be downloaded from the Project page of NeuOPC (NeuOPC is an open source project under the GPL agreement). For installation and system configuration for remote connection, refer to NeuOPC Installation and NeuOPC Remote Access.
