Introducing SLIK-DA 5 w/UA Adding UA to an Existing SLIK-DA 4 server

1. Introducing SLIK-DA 5 w/UAAdding UA to an Existing SLIK-DA 4 server Presenters: Win Worrall Senior Applications /Development Engineer Renee Sikes Applications Engineer

2. Introducing SLIK-DA 5 w/ UA • Agenda – 1 Hour • An Introduction to OPC UA • Overview of SLIK-DA 5 w/ UA • Live Demonstration • Summary • Discussion, Questions & Answers

3. What is OPC UA? • Unified Architecture • A collaborative working effort of the OPC Foundation and its members since 1994 • Objective to create a standard that • Isn’t dependent on DCOM • Can interoperate with non-Windows platforms • Is more secure than the original OPC • Removes redundant code across interfaces

4. Value Point #1 – Common Interface Usage Data Access (DA) Batch Alarms & Events (A&E) OPCUnifiedArchitecture(UA) Commands Historical Data Access (HDA) XML Data Access (XMLDA) Security Data Exchange (DX)

5. Common Interfaces=Less Programming=More ProductsAn example of how a “Read” is consolidated OPC Classic • DA: • IOPCSyncIO::Read • IOPCAsyncIO::Read • IOPCAsyncIO2::Read • IOPCAsyncIO3::Read • IOPCItemIO::Read • A&E: • IOPCEventServer::GetConditionState • HDA: • IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadRaw • IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadProcessed • IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadAtTime • IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadModified • IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadAttribute • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadRaw • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::AdviseRaw • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadProcessed • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::AdviseProcessed • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadAtTime • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadModified • IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadAttribute OPC Unified Architecture • Read • ReadHistory

6. Value Point #2 - Security Data Access (DA) Batch Alarms & Events (A&E) OPCUnifiedArchitecture(UA) Commands Historical Data Access (HDA) UA Server(s) XML Data Access (XMLDA) Security Data Exchange (DX) UA Client(s)

7. Security & Performance Thoughts • Data throughput must be significant • Data is sensitive, no eavesdropping! • Data received must match what was sent • Work ONLY with those you trust! • Withstand attacks: replay, alteration, spoofing, DoS etc. Value: 5

8. Security - Certificates • Digital Certificates are used for safe identification • A Certificate can represent a UA Server and UA Client • A Certificate can represent a Person (login) • Trust lists control access UA Product(s) Connect please… … check my trust list approved People

9. Value Point #3 DCOM Data Access (DA) Batch Alarms & Events (A&E) OPCUnifiedArchitecture(UA) Commands Historical Data Access (HDA) UA Server(s) XML Data Access (XMLDA) Security Data Exchange (DX) UA Client(s)

10. Value Point #4: Enterprise Data Communications Unified Architectureenables communicationsand data sharingenterprise-wide Enterprise Servers Workstations Mobile Controllers Embedded

11. What is a Profile? Why Profiles? Profiles • An identifiable block of functionality that is supported: • Methods needed • Information Model, i.e. Type(s) of Data being moved • Protocol & Security • “Data Access” is an example of a Profile, as are all OPC Classic interfaces • Servers can “reveal” which functionality they support • Clients can query a Server’s Profiles • UA Products can decide if the other has the capabilities desired

12. What is SLIK-DA 5 w/ UA? • ActiveX and .NET toolkit for creating a custom OPC DA or OPC UA server in a variety of environments and languages • Now supporting Windows 7, Server 2008 (Standard and R2), x64 machines, and VS2010 • Rapid development of a custom server through simple properties, methods, and events • Hides OPC details and COM details from user • Allows static or dynamic tag creation

13. Adding OPC UA to your server • SLIK-DA users can add OPC UA with absolutely no code changes • Some new, optional methods have been added • API remains the same • Utility application for UA interface configuration • OPC UA & DA can run at the same time • This is not a wrapper – OPC UA calls have same direct access to your data and application as OPC DA calls

14. Managing Security • Two ways to manage security certificates • OpenSSL • Windows Certificate Store • Location of stores can be changes in the UA configuration • By default, SLIK-DA is set to use OpenSSL

15. New UA Methods in SLIK-DA 5 • SetOpcUAConfigFile()- set the path where the .xml config file is stored • ReadOpcUAConfigFile()- reads in a .xml UA config file • SetOpcUAApplicationDirectory()- changes any references to [ApplicatonPath] on the .xml file • GetOpcUAApplicationDirectory()- Returns the current applicaton directory set in the config file • RestartOpcUAServer()- restarts the UA interface • SetOpcUAEnable()- disables or enables the UA interface • CreateOpcUACertificate()- accepts parameters to create the certificate

16. Live Demonstration Now, let’s take a look at a live demonstration:

17. DCOM Summary • Add OPC UA in minutes • Avoid DCOM issues • Increase security of your data • Save time and money by reducing engineering/development costs to implement UA and man hours spent on troubleshooting DCOM issues.

18.
