# OPC UA

The purpose of this article is to show some tools that connect to your Device (OPC UA server) in much the same way as the SiteManager DCM does, so you can use these tools to verify the config details used in the DCM config file. Additionally, there is also a OPC UA Simulation server that allows you to try to set up the SiteManager DCM to collect data from that server.

#### OPC UA tools
