Abstract

The OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a protocol for Ethernet-based communication in industrial settings. At its core, OPC UA defines a set of services for interaction with a server-side information model that combines object-orientation with semantic technologies. Additional companion specifications use the OPC UA meta-model to define domain-specific modeling concepts for semantic interoperability. The open62541 project is an open source implementation of the OPC UA standard. In this work, we give a short introduction to the core concepts of OPC UA and how the measures taken to scale OPC UA to Big-Data scale reflect in the architecture of open62541.
