What is BS EN 62541-6 – OPC unified architecture mappings about?
BS EN 62541-6 is the sixth part of the OPC unified architecture multi-series. BS EN 62541-6 deals with mappings for OPC unified architecture.
BS EN 62541-6 specifies the OPC unified architecture (OPC UA) mapping between the security model described in BS EN TR 62541‑2, the abstract service definitions specified in BS EN 62541‑4, the data structures defined in BS EN 62541‑5 and the physical network protocols that can be used to implement the OPC UA specification.
Who is BS EN 62541-6 – OPC unified architecture mappings for?
BS EN 62541-6 on OPC unified architecture mappings is useful for:
- Organization shifting to service-oriented architecture
- Software development teams
- Cybersecurity teams
Why should you use BS EN 62541-6 – OPC unified architecture mappings?
OPC unified architecture is an interoperability standard for transferring data securely and reliably in industrial automation and other industries. It is a platform-independent, service-oriented architecture that ensures a smooth flow of data across devices from various manufacturers.
BS EN 62541-6 gives you extensive guidance on data encoding, message security protocols, transport protocols, normative contracts which enable you to integrate data from different data servers into a single OPC unified architecture.
