Connect Devices via OPC UA

About OPC UA

OPC UA (Unified Architecture) is a modern standard that describes data transfer in industrial networks. It offers secure and reliable communication between devices while being hardware- and platform-independent, which enables data exchange between devices with different operating systems.

Special Features

A special feature of OPC UA is that no formats are required to convert incoming data. Instead, incoming data is mapped directly to the individual assets.

Procedure

  1. An β†— endpoint is created and configured.

  2. On this endpoint, a β†— subscription is created.

  3. In this subscription, one or more β†— asset types are selected.

  4. One or more assets of this type are assigned to the selected asset type.

  5. The incoming values via OPC-UA are directly assigned to the respective asset attributes.
