// This example shows how to implement an HMI screen by storing OPC Unified Architecture node IDs in the Tag property of
// screen controls, and animate the controls by subscribing to all items at once. Also shows a possibility how to write to
// an OPC item from the screen.
//
// Note that the Live Binding programming model can provide similar - and more - features, without a need for coding.
