A Rust implementation of the OPC UA client and server specification for industrial monitoring and control.
OPC UA for Rust is an open-source implementation of the OPC Unified Architecture specification, providing both client and server capabilities for industrial data monitoring and control. It enables communication between devices, sensors, and systems in embedded, IoT, and industrial automation environments. The project solves the need for a safe, efficient, and standards-compliant OPC UA stack written in a systems programming language.
Developers and engineers working on industrial automation, embedded systems, IoT devices, or control systems who need to implement OPC UA communication in Rust-based projects.
Developers choose this implementation for its full conformance to the OPC UA specification, support for embedded profiles, and the safety and performance benefits of Rust. It offers a reliable, open-source alternative to proprietary OPC UA stacks, with practical samples and cross-platform compatibility.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Implements both client and server APIs as per the OPC UA standard, with detailed compatibility documentation to ensure interoperability in industrial settings.
Explicitly supports embedded, micro, and nano profiles for resource-constrained devices, making it suitable for IoT and embedded systems as stated in the README.
Allows cross-compilation to various target platforms, with dedicated documentation for cross-compilation, enhancing its use in diverse hardware environments.
Includes multiple real-world samples like simple client/server, chess server, and MQTT integration, providing tangible examples for developers to build upon.
The README notes that tutorials are 'still work in progress,' and API documentation may lag behind development, hindering onboarding and advanced usage.
Migration notes are provided for earlier versions, indicating that updates can introduce breaking changes, requiring code adjustments and careful version management.
Setup involves separate documentation with steps like cross-compilation hints, which can be complex and daunting for users unfamiliar with Rust or OPC UA.
