With Softing's dataFEED OPC UA Avatar, it has never been easier to develop an OPC UA Server
OPC UA Avatar is a new class of SDKs for OPC UA server development. No OPC UA expertise is required!
Do you need to develop your own OPC UA server but have limited resources and a lack of in-house experience?
We know how steep the learning curve is! Let the OPC UA Avatar help you:
-
Easy to use for R&D engineers, no OPC UA expertise required
-
No need to outsource development
-
Extremely short development times (usually much shorter compared to working with OPC UA SDK)
Who can the Avatar help and how?
Avatar's Use Cases & Applications
- Attaching an "OPC UA endpoint" to an existing application
- Unifying data representation, map sql, nosql, messaging systems, plc, etc to OPC UA
- Fast crafting of servers for testing and simulation purposes
- “Digital Twin“ OPC UA Interface (not yet supporting companion specifications)
- OPC UA data aggregation – multiple independent .NET applications reflect their data into a single OPC UA server instance
- OPC UA server with highly dynamic address spaces – UA object instances lifetime synchronized with the .NET application object instances lifetime
Technical Features
- Use Visual Studio as single tool for programming and OPC UA address space definition
- Easy address space and information model building by adding tags (attributes in C# code)
- Mistakes in building non-compliant UA IM/AS prevented at compile time
- API for alarms and creation of references
- OPC UA clients can manipulate the object model of the “twin application“
- Fault tolerance and failover mechanisms • Redundant architectures / automatic switchover
- High data throughput (up to 200000 data changes / sec)
- Hardware: I7, 8Gb RAM, 4-6-8 core
- Data source / interface requirements: need to expose .NET API
Requirements
