QuickOPC
- NuGet package: OpcLabs.QuickOpc
- Python package: opclabs_quickopc
QuickOPC is a suite of OPC Client/Subscriber development components for .NET, COM and Python. These components are for OPC "Classic" (COM/DCOM-based), OPC XML-DA, and OPC Unified Architecture (including OPC UA PubSub) specifications.
Note: For OPC Server development, see OPC Wizard.
QuickOPC is a commercially licensed product. Without a license key, it runs in a trial mode. The trial provides valid data to client or subscriber applications for 30 minutes; after that period, the component (your app) needs to be re-started, and so on. You must also comply with licensing terms for 3rd-party material redistributed with QuickOPC. For details, see the documentation.
Remember that NuGet or Python packages are primarily a tool for resolving build-time dependencies. The amount of functionality that you get through QuickOPC NuGet or Python packages is smaller than what QuickOPC can actually do for you. If you want a full coverage of the features, you would be better off downloading the Setup program from OPC Labs Web site. Further below you will find a list of differences between the two distribution forms.
QuickOPC requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or .NET 6.0 as a minimum. Under .NET 6.0+, it is supported on Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows. QuickOPC can also be easily used from Python.
PLEASE DO NOT USE PRE-RELEASE PACKAGES UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

How to start
If you do not mind reading the documentation: Getting Started with QuickOPC. Or, the whole User's Guide.
Otherwise, just instantiate one of the following objects (depending on the OPC specification), and explore its methods:
OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient
(for OPC DA, OPC XML-DA Client development)OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.EasyAEClient
(for OPC A&E Client development)OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.EasyUAClient
(for OPC UA Client development)OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.PubSub.EasyUASubscriber
(for OPC UA Subscriber development)
Example code
C#:
using OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA;
...
var client = new EasyUAClient();
object value = client.ReadValue(
"opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:51210/UA/SampleServer",
"nsu=http://test.org/UA/Data/ ;i=10853");
Python:
import opclabs_quickopc
from OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA import *
client = EasyUAClient()
value = IEasyUAClientExtension.ReadValue(client,
UAEndpointDescriptor('opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:51210/UA/SampleServer'),
UANodeDescriptor('nsu=http://test.org/UA/Data/ ;i=10853'))
