Abstract:
The ubiquity and widespread support of the Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) Unified Architecture protocol in the automation industry and also outside it enable millions of intelligent manufacturing devices to effectively communicate and exchange information between each other in a secure and standardized manner. On the other hand, the ever growing need for large data transfers for predictive maintenance, process visualization and Internet of Things, among others, requires a precise knowledge of the protocol and system limitations in order to plan migrations or new installations. In this paper, a flexible test platform for the performance evaluation of OPC-UA systems is presented, along with preliminary findings and comparative performance measures of three different categories of PC-based OPC-UA systems.
