OPC UA Namespaces

Reference page for OPC UA namespace structure and why it matters in gateway integrations.

What OPC UA Namespaces Are

Namespaces organize OPC UA information models so clients can distinguish standard definitions from vendor-specific structures. In practical gateway work, namespaces are part of how a point model stays stable and interpretable.

Why It Matters

  • Namespace handling affects browse results and point selection.
  • Vendor exports often mix standard and custom models.
  • Point mapping becomes fragile if namespace assumptions are not captured explicitly.
