The following tutorials explain how to develop a full featured OPC UA server using the toolkit layer of the Unified Automation .NET SDK. The lessons are based on a simple building automation scenario including air conditioning and furnace control.

The source code for the lessons is included in the SDK as a Visual Studio Solution and can be accessed via the Start Menu (Examples → UA Server Getting Started).

Lesson 1: Setting up a basic OPC UA server console application

The first lesson starts with an empty OPC UA server describing the code for integration of an OPC UA server component into a .NET application and the different server configuration options.

Lesson 2: Extending the Address Space with real world data
