OPC DA (OPC Data Access)

The OPC Data Access Specification is the first of a group of specifications known as OPC Classic Specifications. OPC Data Access is a group of client-server standards that contains specifications for the communication of real-time data from data acquisition devices such as PLCs to display and interface devices such as HMI software, SCADA systems and also ERP/MES systems.

The specifications focus on the continuous communication of data. OPC DA deals only with real-time data and not historical data or events. There are three attributes associated with OPC DA data: a value, the quality of the value, and a timestamp. The OPC DA specification states that these three attributes have to be returned to an OPC client making a request.
