Course Objective

OPC Unified Architecture is a machine-to-machine (M2M) protocol for industrial automation developed by OPC Foundation and it has become the interoperability standard for industrial automation. The course aims to introduce trends in industrial communication M2M, OPC UA standard and its specifications and security model as well as integration techniques on how industry host controllers can integrate into information systems such as cloud or web-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system using OPC UA protocol.

The objective of this course is to introduce participants on communication trends in industrial automation, basic networking concepts, M2M architecture and protocols, OPC UA communication standards, security and information models, data and historical access and its impact in automation systems. Participants will learn how to securely integrate control devices on a computer network to extend controllability via OPC UA enabled WebAccess SCADA system and accessibility over Local Area Network as well as Wide Area Network.

Course Outline

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

- Recognise the trends in industrial automation
- Define the basic functions of networking devices, network addressing and subnetting of network addresses
- Acquire the concepts of LAN, WAN and Internetworking
- Explain how the M2M architecture and its communication protocols are used in advanced manufacturing
- Interpret the OPC, OPC UA and its specifications
- Describe OPC UA security models
- Implement a designed industry application as a proof of concept by using industrial controllers, OPC UA and WebAccess SCADA.
