Development of an OPC UA SDK Based WCF Technology and Its Deployment for Environmental Monitoring Applications

This paper focuses on a technological innovation that has been applied in many countries and still has continuously been researched to enhance its effectiveness – OPC (Openness, Productivity, and Connectivity) Unified Architecture. OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is new specification used for the connection of accessories, based on open form, and independent of any technological systems. OPC UA gains access to data base and events following its real time or are stored through safe, trustworthy and totally separate connection. The research presented in this paper attempts to introduce the development of an OPC UA SDK based WCF technology and used for monitoring and control systems. The deployment of the proposed OPC UA SDK for an environmental monitoring application (EMA) is also presented as an illustration of the successful development of the proposed OPC UA SDK. This SDK in turn makes system architects and developers easy to design and implement applications in terms of environmental monitoring. In addition, this also reduces the development time and cost for such applications.
