<hr />
<p><span class="style_bold">Why create an open source OPC UA project ?<br />
</span>An Open Source and multiplateform OPC UA implementation will
provide a way to teach OPC UA and will allow its adoption by a wide
range of users. </p>
<hr />
<p><span class="style_bold">Why support OpenOpcUa ?<br />
</span>Because we need your support to continue to create this
implementation. The maturity of the project is good enough to allow its
intrgration in real product. But a lot is still front of us.<br />
</p>
<hr />
<p><span class="style_bold">Why become OPC Foundation member ?</span><br />
The OPC Foundation provide several benefit to its member. Including access to specifications, .Net codebase and the Compliance Test tool. More information
<a href="http://opcfoundation.org/01_about/benefits.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<hr />
<p><span class="style_bold">Is OpenOpcUa a toolkit ?</span><br />
No. OpenOpcUa is more than a simple toolkit. OpenOpcUa is an idea of
collaboration and evangelization. OpenOpcUa is a reference
implementation for OPC UA. The same codebase is shared between all
platforms. You just have to create add-ins for device communication or
database storage to personalize the OpenOpcUaCoreServer. </p>
