B&R OPC UA example

The purpose of this article is to show some DCM config file examples for OPC UA with a B&R (BR-automation) PLC 

Please pay attention to the specific format of the NodeIDString value:

 "NodeIdString" : "::AsGlobalPV:gState.Main",

Full DCM config collecting from B&R OPC UA PLC and delivering to Secomea DCC
