 SOA vs Pub/Sub
 TCP based Request/Response
◦ Connection/session context required (peer-to-peer)
◦ High resource consumption when many connections (>500)
◦ “Private” subscription for each client
◦ Save transport, acknowledgement of every message
◦ Late polling for “DataChange”, keep alive
◦ Use Case: huge amount of flexible data

 UDP based Pub/Sub Both Needed !

◦ Connection-less, broadcast-style communication
◦ Low resource consumption many subscribers (>1000)
◦ “Public” subscription, same data for all clients
◦ Fire and forget transportation
◦ Cyclic publish of “all” data (could be deterministic)
◦ Use Case: small amount of fixed data

 In a connected world security of data and services is THE critical key!
(…VPN has nothing to do with security…)

 OPC UA: security by design

 Who is allowed to access data? (on application level)
 Authentication (X509 certificates, user/password, kerberos)

 Is the sender really the authorized application?

 Signing

 Is the message correct or has it been corrupted?

 Encryption (SSL)

 Access rights by User management

 Configurable access rights for services and data
on node level for different groups and users
 Full audit functionality included

By 2020, it is working as a practical goal to spread smart factory technology to

President, IVI
SESAM, Copenhagen March 1st, 2018
“OPC UA is a key enabler for connected manufacturing, where huge variety of
factory-floor operations are connected both through the cyber and physical
ways.
The Industrial Value Chain Initiative (IVI) is an organization providing win-win
cooperation opportunities for enterprises moving toward the next era of connected
industries. Since most of the members are manufacturers, IVI is especially
focusing on actual and practical requirements of factories. In consideration
of the Industrial Value Chain Reference Architecture (IVRA), those requirements
are described in a form of smart manufacturing scenario, which shows a current
situation as well as a desired goal of the factory.
While the scenarios are evaluated in the test-bed factory, an IVI platform performs
and OPC UA can give a reasonable way of implementation for secure and
concrete connections.
Furthermore, as an open standard specification, OPC UA is meaningful for the IVI
platform ecosystem, where application suppliers, IoT device vendors, data
infrastructure and software tool providers are involved to enhance the value of the
platforms.”

 Q&A
Muss ein Gerät oder eine Maschine OPC UA Server oder OPC UA Client sein? Oder beides?

Ein Gerät/Maschine welches Daten & Schnittstellen anbietet sollte zunächst eine OPC UA
Server Schnittstelle implementieren.

Ggf macht es Sinn auch über eine OPC UA Client Implementierung nachzudenken wenn
eigenständig eine Kommunikation zu einem OPC UA Server aufgebaut werden soll

SESAM, Copenhagen March 1st, 2018

 Q&A: Geräte / Maschinenbauer 1/2
1. Was sind konkrete Schritte um mein Gerät / meine Maschine per OPC UA erreichbar zu machen?

1. Gateway als schnelle Lösung?

2. Neu-Entwicklung: Open Source oder Toolkit?

Die OPC Foundation liefert OpenSource zur Evaluierung
Den schnellsten Einstieg liefern Toolkit Hersteller für verhältnismäßig wenig Geld:
- Unified Automation / Softing / ProSysOPC / …

3. Informationsmodell: Welche Daten und Schnittstellen wollen Sie nach aussen verfügbar
machen? Welche Daten benötigen Sie selber intern? Ordentlich sortiert aufgeschrieben ist
das ein erster Weg zu ihrem Informationsmodell.

4. Auch wenn Sie sich mit niemandem abstimmen: Ist ein OPC UA Server integriert kann jeder
UA Client schnell mit Ihnen kommunizieren und Sie haben höhere Sicherheit!

5. Lassen Sie Ihr Gerät/Maschine im OPC Labor zertifizieren!

Das Labor ist für OPC Mitglieder und Nicht-Mitglieder offen.
…und erspart Probleme im Feld….
SESAM, Copenhagen March 1st, 2018
 Q&A: Geräte / Maschinenbauer 2/2
5. Informationsmodell:
Gibt es für Ihre Branche bereits eine Übereinkunft über diese Daten und Schnittstellen?

Wenn ja
- warum setzten Sie nicht genau das um?
- Sie können Firmen-eigene Daten und Schnittstellen zufügen!

Wenn nein:
- Fragen Sie beim VDMA nach!
- Prüfen Sie die OPC Foundation Webseite unter „Collaboration“
- Starten Sie doch selber eine Initiative zusammen mit der OPC Foundation?

6. Zertifizierung
In Zukunft werden auch die Standardisierten Informationsmodelle im OPC Labor zertifiziert
werden können!

SESAM, Copenhagen March 1st, 2018

 Q&A: Betreiber
Worauf muss ich bei einer Ausschreibung achten?
Reicht „OPC UA enthalten“ oder muss die Vorgabe präziser sein?

1. Das Gerät / die Maschine sollte einen OPC UA Server liefern:

Entweder integriert oder als vorgeschaltetem Gateway

Der Vorteil: Die Integration in ihr Netzwerk ist einfacher und sicherer!

2. Fordern Sie die Zertifizierung an

Das ist keine Schikane sondern deckt im Labor bereits viele Probleme auf – nicht erst im
Feld.

3. Wenn sich eine Branche auf ein Informationsmodell geeinigt hat (z.B. die AutoID Branche
für RFID, Barcode etc ) dann fordern Sie die Unterstützung dieses Informationsmodelles
ein! In Zukunft sollten Sie auch das Zertifikat für das Informationsmodell anfordern.
