OPC UA Gateway is a high-performance Wrapper/Proxy which enables all “classic” COM/DCOM-based OPC products to be connected to the new OPC UA (Unified Architecture) products.

OPC UA Gateway can be applied in many systems and use cases. Use cases of OPC UA Gateway include:

• connect UA Client to COM/DCOM Server
• connect COM/DCOM Client to UA Server
• tunnel COM/DCOM through secure UA connection
• data concentration on a single node; single point of access
• firewall-friendly, secure data access to "classic" OPC
• ReverseConnect-Proxy when UA Server(s) live behind Firewall
• Tagfile and Cache for individual AddressSpace mapping

OPC UA Client is connected to multiple servers using OPC UA Gateway.

OPC UA Gateway is used to connect a DCOM based OPC client to an OPC server securely over the Internet.
