OPC UA

Total: ~13 min

OPC UA (Unified Architecture) is the object-oriented approach to data organization and transfer that is developed by the OPC Foundation. Like its predecessor, the UA model has become broadly adopted in a range of industries and is increasingly finding applications in the IoT space. It includes intrinsic security via a certificate model built into the core of the technology, and expands upon the ability for communication in a networked environment.

Understanding OPC UA

OPC UA is an object-oriented approach to data organization and has been widely adopted as the next generation open protocol for communication. It represents one of the backbone protocols for ICONICS applications.
