Abstract

A central challenge of Industry 4.0 and IT-OT convergence is the variety of protocols, devices and application areas legacy systems: How can users guarantee the interoperability of everything?
OPC UA have been used and deployed to resolve such challenges. Anyone who wants to advertise with the label of “Industry 4.0-capable” must be OPC-UA-capable too (integrated or via a gateway). OPC UA, short for Open Platform Communications United Architecture,) is the interoperability standard for the secure and reliable exchange of data in the industrial automation space and in other industries. This open interface standard is platform and manufacturer independent.

Within this framework, we propose the OPC UA data transfer is a fundamental component of industrial automation, enabling seamless and secure communication between various OPC UA server, it allows easily configure, display, and monitor real-time data transfers between OPC UA servers.
