Learn OPC UA using NodeOPCUA

Course overview:

This course is intended for application developers who are new to Industry 4.0 and interested in learning the basics of OPC UA. While this course introduces you to the key concepts and features of OPC UA, it focuses more on sensor to cloud connectivity.

Rather than going behind the complex thought process behind each specification item, we have tried to strike a balance between covering as many use cases on one side while simplifying the technology for application developers on the other.

1. This course includes hands on sessions to implement your own OPC UA clients and servers, to demonstrate and learn OPC UA features, by using sample applications based on the open source OPC UA stack NodeOPCUA.
2. In addition to the NodeOPCUA stack, all the other software components used in this course are available in open source and you do not need to spend on any software licenses.

Objective of this course:

The objective of this course is to equip application developers with

1. Basics of OPC UA information modelling with a hands on example
2. Step-by-step walkthrough of client and server applications demonstrating the following OPC UA features
3. Read/Write/Subscriptions
4. Method Calls
5. Secure client/server connection
6. Develop your own applications based on OPC UA

What will you learn:

At the end of this course you will understand how to,

1. Create a custom information model into an OPC UA server by using the Open Source NodeOPCUA stack as an example
2. Use OPC UA read, write, subscription services and access your application variables
3. Implement custom methods in an OPC UA server and invoke them from an OPC UA client application
4. Implement user authentication, message signing and encryption for secure client/server communication

Required hardware and software:

1. One PC/laptop with Windows 10 Pro or Ubuntu 18.04
2. Open source OPC UA stack based on the NodeOPCUA project
3. Open source OPC UA client based on the FreeOpcUa project

Total Duration of the Course:  3hours
