  7. OPC UA history and overview V1.00 V1.01 V1.02 V1.03 V1.04 OPC UA • Is a platform independent standard for communication • Supports the definition of information models in servers, discoverable offline and on runtime by the client • Defines abstract services for accessing the information model • Defines the technological mapping of the abstract services on the communication protocols • Uses client/server and publisher/subscriber communication schemes • Supports a secure and robust communication 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

  8. Motivation for uaToolkit Embedded • With the Industry4.0 and IIoT market trends, we have noticed a very clear and sustained increase in OPC UA adoption • The OPC UA embedded Toolkit is our offering to use-cases in enabling OPC UA in sensors, smaller devices and low-end controllers • The OPC UA Specification V1.04 part 14 “PubSub” increases the demand for OPC UA in embedded devices • The new OPC UA FLC (Field Level Communication) initiative will create more demand for embedded OPC UA in the next years. • A lot of new device and machine level OPC UA companion specifications (robots, grippers, …) are increasing the demand for embedded solutions. Only VDMA has started the work on ~20 companion specifications in 2017 and 2018.

  9. OPC UA for Field Level Communication • OPC UA FLC initiative started in November 2018 • Controller-to-filed communication done with OPC UA • Supported by: Rockwell Automation, Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Yokogawa, Mitsubishi Electric, Phoenix Contact, Omron, Beckhoff, Rexroth, B&R, Intel, Cisco, Huawei, Hirschmann, ….
