OPC UA at the control and field level does not provide enough performance to replace the field bus. The OPC Foundation aims for a real-time and connection-less mechanism, and has added the OPC UA publish-subscribe model, a new specification that supports broker functions such as MQTT and AMQP, as the OPC UA Part 14 standard. This paper is about a gateway for interoperability between OPC UA publisher with the addition of OPC UA Part14 standard and DDS subscribers. Raspberry Pi 4 is used for the gateway proposed in this paper, and OpenDDS, an open source, is used for DDS. OPC UA publish-subscribe module used A-Open62541 publish-subscribe module, which additionally implements functions not provided by the corresponding source based on Open62541 publish-subscribe open source.

In order to build a smart factory, building a CPPS (Cyber Physical Product System) is an important system that must be accompanied. Through the CPPS, it is the reality of smart factories to move physical factories to a digital-based cyber world and to intelligently and autonomously monitor and control them. But The existing CPPS architectures present only an abstract modeling architecture, and the research that applied the OPC UA Framework (Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture), an international standard for data exchange in the smart factory, as the basic system of CPPS It was insufficient. Therefore, it is possible to implement CPPS that can include both cloud and IoT by collecting field data distributed by CPPS architecture applicable to actual factories and concentrating data processing in a centralized In this study, we implemented CPPS architecture through central OPC UA Server based on OPC UA conforming to central processing OPC UA Framework, and how CPPS logical process and data processing process are automatically generated through OPC UA modeling processing We have proposed the CPPS architecture including the model factory and implemented the model factory to study its performance and usability.

Digital-Twin are recognized as an important core technology for the realization of Smart Factories by simulating and optimizing the monitoring and predictive maintenance of manufacturing equipment and the operation of production lines in a digital space. To implement this system, we adopt the IEC62541-based OPC-UA (Open Platform Communications Unified-Architecture) Protocol, which has strengths in interoperability and connectivity between heterogeneous platforms. Therefore, In this paper, We designed and implemented an IIoT(Industry Internet of Things) system that connects heterogeneous platforms, and developed an OPC-UA simulator based on IEC 62541. We will present whether the data will be applied to the Digital-Twin Platform and whether it will work, and proceed with performance tests and evaluations. We evaluate the operation performance and OPC-UA performance of the Digital-Twin platform lightened by the proposed device, and present the optimal IEC62514-based simulator system. We proceeded with the performance evaluation of sending and receiving data with OPC-UA wrapping with the proposed simulator, and found that a lightweight Digital-Twin platform can be operated. This research can apply the OPC-UA protocol for implementing smart factory and meta-factory in the manufacturing shop floor with limited resources, avoiding the waste of time and space on the shop floor through the OPC-UA simulator. We expect that this will contribute to a significant improvement in efficiency by minimizing.

The manufacturing industry is continuously pursuing advanced technology and smartization as it converges with innovative technology. Improvement of manufacturing productivity is achieved by monitoring, analyzing, and controlling the facilities and processes of the manufacturing site in real time through a network. In this paper, we proposed a new OPC-UA based digital twin model for smart factory facilities. A testbed system for USB flash drive packaging facility was implemented based on the proposed digital twin model and OPC-UA data communication scheme. Through OPC-UA based digital twin model, equipment and process status information is transmitted and received from PLC to monitoring and control 3D digital models and physical models in real time. The usefulness of the developed digital twin testbed system was evaluated through usability test.

프로세스 컨트롤 장비를 제어하기 위한 산업규격인 OPC는 새로운 규격으로 UA를 정의하여 그 개발 효율성 증대의 가능성을 열었다. 그러나 UA 규격은 방대하고 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있어 본 연구에서 C# 컨트롤을 통해 개선된 CBD환경을 구축한다. 이 환경에서는 GUI를 통해 효율적으로 OPC UA 전용 클라이언트를 개발할 수 있다. 기존의 UA SDK와 UA 범용 클라이언트 소스를 재사용하고 C#의 특성을 살려 사용자 컨트롤을 만들어 디자인타임에서의 GUI 개발환경을 지원한다. 그리하여 개발을 편리하게하고 효율적으로 유지보수가 가능하게 한다.

In this article, the current technological state of OPC (Openness, Productivity, and Collaboration; formerly "OLE for Process Control") standards and the problem statement of these OPC standards are discussed. The development of an OPC clientserver framework for monitoring and control systems is introduced by using the new OPC Unified Architecture (UA) specifications, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), web services, XML, etc. The developed framework in turn minimizes the efforts of developers in learning new techniques and allows system architects and designers to perform dependency analysis on the development of monitoring and control applications. The potential areas of the proposed framework and the redundancy strategies to increase the efficiency and reliability of the system are also represented according to the initial results from the system that was developed by the Visual Studio 2008 and OPC UA SDK.

Smart grid is called it as a system of systems. There are diverse types of systems in smart grid environment. Therefore, one of key factors to achieve smart grid successfully is interoperability among diverse systems. To secure interoperability, smart grid operating system should be developed complied with standards in terms of the data representation and communication. Common Information Model (CIM) and OLE Process for Control - Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) are the representative international standards in smart grid domain. Each standard defines data representation and communication by providing common information model and the unified architecture. In this paper, we explain a smart grid platform that we have developed to comply with CIM and OPC-UA standards for secure interoperability among numerous legacy systems.

This paper analyzes and evaluates to optimally build a data collection system essential for factory energy management systems on an edge-based lightweight platform. A "Sensor/OPC-UA simulator" was developed based on sensors in an actual food factory and used to evaluate the storage engine of edge devices. The performance of storage engines in edge devices was evaluated to suggest the optimal storage engine. The experimental results show that when using the RocksDB storage engine, it has less than half the memory and database size compared to using InnoDB, and has a 3.01 times faster processing time. This study enables the selection of advantageous storage engines for managing time-series data on devices with limited resources and contributes to further research in this field through the sensor/OPC simulator.
