[Request Mode]
The opcau client will actively send a ReadRequest packet to the opcau server. After the
server receives the packet, it sends it back to the opcau client using a ReadResponse
packet.
[Subscription Mode]
The server regularly performs tag sampling on the PLC.
1. If the "value" or "status" of the TAG changes, the PublishResponse will be sent to the
client in the next Publsihing tick.
2. If the values do not change, an empty PublishResponse will be sent to the client to
ensure that the connection is still established, otherwise it will timeout.
