The OPC Foundation defines standards for online data exchange between automation systems. They address access to current data (OPC DA), alarms and events (OPC A&E) and historical data (OPC HDA). Those standards are successfully applied in industrial automation. The new OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) unifies the existing standards and brings them to state-of-the-art technology using service-oriented architecture (SOA). Main advantages of the new standard are: Platform-independent technology allows the deployment of OPC UA beyond current OPC applications only running on Windows-based PC systems. OPC UA can also run on embedded systems as well as Linux / UNIX based enterprise systems. The provided information can be generically modeled and therefore arbitrary information models can be provided using OPC UA. This book gives an easy to understand introduction into OPC UA and explains the concepts of the standard and other relevant topics that are not directly addressed by the standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good OPC UA Introduction. English could be better.,
By MEERIGH MOHAND (Rabat, Morocco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OPC Unified Architecture (Hardcover)
The best comments I can make about this book can be taken from the book itself:
From the Preface: The [OPC UA] specification primarily defines how to do things and to a lesser extent explains why it was designed that way. This is the way specifications have to be written to be widely applied by many developers and to guarantee interoperability between different applications. As a result, the OPC UA specification is hard to read for someone new to OPC UA. This is also true for other specifications such as SQL or UML. With this book, we want to fill this gap and provide an easy to understand introduction to OPC UA. We will not provide the same detail as the specification, but rather introduce and explain the main concepts of OPC UA. --> The book has delivered on this. From the Acknowledgments: Thanks to [...] the native speakers who greatly improved our English. --> The grammar is annoying at times, especially when you need to read a sentence twice to understand it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Concepts, but very dry,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OPC Unified Architecture (Hardcover)
Go over the concepts, start kind of slow and it is a dry reading, so get some coffee and a quiet place.
