OPCUA plugin to receive data from OPCUA server #1651

Open krgrsebastian opened 1 year ago

krgrsebastian commented 1 year ago

Description:

I am working on a project that requires data from an OPCUA server to be forwarded into Benthos. An OPCUA plugin for Benthos would be very helpful in achieving this.

As OPCUA is still relevant in the industrial internet of things (IIoT), a plugin for Benthos would be useful for many users. OPCUA is a communication protocol designed to facilitate the interoperability of devices and systems from different vendors and to enable secure and reliable data exchange in real-time. It is widely adopted by industrial automation vendors and is suitable for use in complex and large-scale IIoT environments.

Steps to reproduce:

N/A

Expected behavior:

A plugin that allows Benthos to receive data from an OPCUA server.

Actual behavior: There is currently no OPCUA plugin available for Benthos.

The United Manufacturing Hub maintains a suitable project based on benthos: https://github.com/united-manufacturing-hub/benthos-umh. However, it would be nice to add support for IoT protocols in benthos natively.

We are already talking with @Jeffail about merging it, but it would only make sense once the plugin is finished (read, write, etc.) and we have a plan on maintaining it.
