OPC UA Real time trending tool - open sourced

Hello all,

Today GPT-5 was released and to try it out I decided to “develop” something I miss from studio5000, a convenient real time trace tool.

I (GPT-5) made an application that can browse the OPC-UA server on a B&R PLC or other device and display the values in real time.

There’s of course limitations and it does not replace the integrated trace tool since its not deterministic but I think it could be a great tool for monitoring processes, systems and regulators.

I made the application using electron + vite + ts. So you can build it as a windows application or launch it as a website (with some modification using mappConnect) on the PLC’s webserver during commissioning?
