OPC UA status and subscription pricing
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2021 2:02 pm
*** I just discovered that there is a new forum so I am posting this here - not intending to cross post anymore ***
I looked in the drivers available for Flowcode, and didn't see anything for OPC UA. One of the positives of Flowcode is the Modbus Client/Server modules, but I'd prefer OPC UA since it can pull a tag direct out of either SCADA systems or PLC's directly.
That being said, is there anything on the horizon for OPC UA connectivity? I've noticed with a lot of recent products that OPC UA is usually offered for free, versus the old licensing costs from OPC DA. This might be helpful if considering adding it to future releases of Flowcode.
Another item I'd like to ask about is subscription pricing. Its easier for me to buy a subscription and get the latest updates versus a giant purchase every 18 months or so. Is that being considered? If both outright purchase and subscriptions were available, that would probably be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
