Towards a Modelica OPC UA Library for Industrial Automation

Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is often named as a prospective enabler for future automation systems integrations, example envisioned in the German Initiative Industrie 4.0. The DLR OPC UA Modelica library connects with world. There are two main goals: First, server capabilities emulating communication interface of (physical) hardware components order to create component simulations, e.g., virtual commissioning. Second, client interacting real-world components, process visualization and monitoring or interactive simulation control purposes. works on Windows Linux platforms. It tested using environments Dymola OpenModelica.
