About OPC-UA
What is OPC-UA?
OPC is a series of specifications supporting open connectivity via open standards. OPC-UA is a communications and data modelling standard for the exchange of information over TCP/IP networks and is the next generation of OPC developed by the OPC Foundation. Rapidly gaining traction in industrial and building automation, OPC-UA was designed from the ground up to be multi-platform and enables seamless communication between all components of an automation system and the enterprise.
Embedded Labs provides the only embedded OPC-UA solution that is scalable from the smallest devices to the most powerful embedded systems. We achieved this by developing our SDKs from first principles, implementing every line of code specifically for embedded systems.
Why embed OPC-UA in a device?
In the automation systems of today, end users need to visualise the behaviour of their processes and installations in real time to better understand them and maximise their cost-effectiveness. Devices are connected to the end user via other devices and applications that must all be configured in order to pass information up the chain. This configuration is complex enough that many installations expose only a small amount of the available information to the end user.
If every device was intelligent and on the network, end users could have access to all of the available information at any given time. Thanks to OPC-UA and Software Development Kits (SDKs)
from Embedded Labs, intelligent networked devices are now a reality. Embedded Labs’ OPC-UA SDKs allow the integration of a fully compliant, high performance OPC-UA Server directly into
your device.
Benefits of embedded OPC-UA
- Eliminate costly and time consuming configuration of register based data.
- Enable direct point and click device configuration, management and monitoring
from any OPC-UA Client. - Promote your device to be a first class citizen in the automation hierarchy.
- No longer do your customers need to marshal data through third party systems in order
to move it to where it needs to be.
Embedded Labs is the only vendor to offer OPC-UA Device Server SDKs tailored to every class of device. Whether your product is engineered for minimum unit cost or maximum performance we have the right solution for you.
