These short Webinars give an overview of selected topics. Attendees will learn the basic concepts of UA technology regarding the topic. In addition, possible solutions for implementers are shown using the SDKs of Unified Automation.

Webinar Topics:

• Introduction to OPC UA and Migration from Classic OPC to OPC UA
• OPC UA software development using the .NET Based OPC UA Client/Server SDK
• Creating Information Models with OPC UA
• Controller-to-Controller and Controller-to-MES Communication using OPC UA
• Building Automation with OPC UA and BACnet

All webinars are free of charge.

You have an OPC Data Access Server providing a standardized interface to your product. You have one or more of the following customer requirements:

• I want to access the OPC interface through a firewall
• I need remote access but I want to avoid DCOM configuration
• I want to connect an application on a non Windows operating system to your server
• I want to restrict access to certain data to authorized persons only
• I need a secure connection over the internet

How do you solve these requirements: OPC UA

I can use an external protocol converter to support OPC UA in my products. Why should I implement OPC UA natively in my product?

Answer the following questions:

• Do you want to avoid multiple software layers?
• Do you want to get best performance?
• Do you want the advanced OPC UA features in your product?

This webinar will cover:

• What are the benefits of OPC UA?
• Migration from Classic OPC to OPC UA using Unified Automation’s UaGateway (features and license model)
• UA enabling of existing products and development of new OPC UA products using Unified Automation's OPC UA SDKs.

This presentation targets software architects, product managers, project managers, developers, and anyone else interested in OPC UA.
