Why embed OPC UA in a device?
In the automation systems of today, end users need to visualize the behavior of their processes and installations in real time to better understand them and maximize their cost-effectiveness. Devices are connected to the end user via other devices and applications that must all be configured in order to pass information up the chain. This configuration is complex enough that many installations expose only a small amount of the available information to the end user.
If every device was intelligent and on the network, end users could have access to all of the available information at any given time. Thanks to OPC UA and Matrikon OPC UA Embedded Server Software Development Kit (SDK), intelligent networked devices are now a reality. Matrikon OPC UA SDK allows the integration of a fully compliant, high performance OPC UA Server directly into your device.
The Matrikon Advantage
