Normally people use an OPC UA client to get data from an OPC UA server. I do not know of any .NET libraries that would allow you to connect to a OPC Server via your PC program. There should be some available as OPC is a common protocol.

By running iX 2.10 (runtime on PC) as UA-server I've been able to read server information and variables through Unified Automation UaExpert - as a client...

Do you have any examples for a C#-program running as client to iX Runtime "server"?
