Product Selection Guide
OPC UA and OPC DA applications require software licenseĀ OP3131, which comes with 50 data points. Visit this page more information on data points.
If additional data points are required, then they may be added via productĀ OP3050.
For applications requiring precision timestamping, a time synchronization module may be added to the simulator.
For more information on precision timing, please visit the following page.
OPC UA
OPC UA can be added to real-time simulators without the need for additional hardware.
However, since real-time simulators come with at least one available Ethernet port, if additional physical Ethernet ports are required on the real-time simulator, these can be added via a kit.
Note that for applications requiring many Ethernet ports, the OP4510 and OP4512 simulators are not recommended.
OPC DA (classic)
OPC DA applications require the use of an external gateway to convert OPC UA to OPC DA.
For applications where the OPAL-RT simulator acts as the server, productĀ OP3134 is required.
For applications, where the OPAL-RT simulator acts as the client, productĀ OP3133 is required.

Driver | Driver license for OPC UA Server protocol. Unlimited number of client applications. 50 I/O data points are included. For additional data points, add productĀ OP3050 (see below). | OP3251 | YES | YES | YES | YES |
Optional | License for additional I/O data points for Ethernet-based communication protocols. 1,000, 5,000, or 30,000 (unlimited) data points may be added. LicenseĀ OP3251 is required. | OP3050-1000 | YES | YES | YES | YES |
Optional | Required for OPC-DA (classic) or OPC-UA based CLIENT applications OPC Gateway. Enables OPC-DA (classic) or OPC-UA based client applications to connect with the OPAL-RT simulator acting as a OPC UA server. Note that this item includes the Cogent DataHubĀ® gateway. This gateway converts real-time streaming OPC UA data to DA. Using the Gateway, you can connect any OPC DA, any OPC-UA client to the real-time simulation (OPC UA server), locally or over the plant network. | OP3133 | YES | YES | YES | YES |
Optional | Required for OPC-DA (classic) SERVER applications OPC Gateway. Enables OPC-DA (classic) based server applications to connect with the OPAL-RT simulator. Note that this item includes the Cogent DataHubĀ® gateway. This gateway converts real-time streaming OPC UA data to DA. Using the Gateway, you can connect any OPC DA server to the real-time simulation (OPC UA server), locally or over the plant network. | OP3134 | YES | YES | YES | YES |
Optional | Dual-port PCIeĀ X1 Gigabit Ethernet Kit for OP4xxx Series of Real-Time Simulators*. Can be added if more physical Ethernet ports are required. | OP3821 | OP4510v2 | Ā | Ā | Ā |
