PLC - Non-Industrial PC Communication

Good morning everyone,
I need to exchange read and write information from a B&R PLC (specifically a C80) with a non-industrial pc running windows 10. Possible alternatives and solutions? I was thinking about using OPC-UA since we already use the protocol for mappview but I would need some suggestions on how to implement the possible the client/server on windows.
I am available to provide additional information.

Thank you

Hi Nicolo @nrampinelli01 ,

This is more a question of which data you want to exchange with the controller, which programming languages you want to use on the PC or whether you want to use ready-made packages (e.g. SCADA).

OPC-UA is the current way to access controller variables, for example, and Python is probably the easiest way to implement it.
