A common industrial control platform that supports both OPC UA compatibility and legacy PLC integration in the same deployment is Ignition by Inductive Automation.
Why it fits:
- OPC UA support: Ignition has built-in OPC UA capabilities for modern industrial interoperability.
- Legacy PLC integration: It can connect to older PLCs via drivers, OPC servers, or gateway modules, allowing mixed environments.
- Same deployment: You can run modern OPC UA devices and legacy PLC connections side by side in one Ignition gateway.
If you want, I can also list other platforms that do this and compare them by vendor, protocol support, and typical use case.
