Course Information

Overview

This two-day workshop covers the evolution of data connectivity from proprietary data connectivity and custom protocol translation to the latest in OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) data interoperability. The workshop provides an overview of the OPC Specifications and common use cases for applications that implement them. Participants will gain an understanding of:
-          the communication fundamentals related to OPC client and server based architectures;
-          the principles of data connectivity to the end devices which are the building blocks of a modern industrial process control system;
-          the basic functionality of OPC based applications and the underlying technology behind OPC UA and OPC Classic.

This workshop is delivered in a series of presentations interspersed with practical exercises to demonstrate and reinforce the concepts presented.

Objectives

Completion of this workshop provides the participant with a solid understanding of the following;

The evolution of OPC and the usage requirements that drove the development of the OPC Specifications and the applications they define
The basic functionality of OPC applications
How the Microsoft Component Object Model is used in OPC Classic applications
How the OPC Classic specifications define communication between client and server applications, including the roles supported by each of these applications
The OPC Classic specifications, DA, HDA, and A&E, and how they define access to the data structures supported by each
The basics of security in OPC Classic
The OPC UA specification structure
How the OPC UA applications provide standardized communications and access to data, including secure communications and information modeling
