OPC UA Book

The first OPC Unified Architecture Book, written by Wolfgang Mahnke, Stefan-Helmut Leitner and Matthias Damm one of the OPC UA trainers for Unified Automation.

Intensive Hands-On Classes (Three Days)

This 3-day compact training is especially suitable for in-house trainings. It  addresses developers who want to quickly develop OPC UA Server and Client products. After a short intensive introduction students will start creating their own UA Server and you will get a deep insight in the UA technology. During the course students will use the C++ based or .NET based OPC UA Server SDK and will learn everything that is required to build UA products.

Overview

  • get deep technology insight
  • UA Information Model design, including required coding
  • implement data linkage using data provider interface

The target group are developers and software architects. The workshop requires base knowledge in object oriented software development and the programming language to be used.

Details

This three day training gives a one day introduction into the new OPC platform Unified Architecture and provides an overview of the OPC UA features.
