In partnership with
Course overview
In this course, you'll learn about the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) communication system.
OPC UA is a trending technology and is increasingly used as an industrial communication standard. This course will provide you with theoretical and practical knowledge to approach this innovative communication system.
You will learn all the features and internal mechanisms and you will build a simple OPC UA client and server application to get some hands-on experience.
By end of this course, you will have the necessary knowledge to work with OPC UA to develop solutions that work in a secure, scalable, and effective way with your HMI, SCADA, or PLC applications.
