The OSADL OPC UA PubSub over TSN Project
Project phase #1 - Project phase #2 - Project phase #3 - Project phase #4 - Project phase #5 - Presentations - Project overview
Project phase #1 (completed)
In addition to the standardization of the protocols, to gain general acceptance of this technology it also is necessary to provide a freely accessible software implementation that can be used in an unrestricted way. Since this currently is not not the case, the Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) in collaboration with Indian system integrator Kalycito Infotech has launched a related Open Source software project that is funded by Kalycito and an OSADL project group. The already developed and further to be enhanced software is based on the OPC UA implementation that was created in the open62541 project (https://open62541.org/). The Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Processing (Fraunhofer IOSB) has taken over the activity of programming the OPC UA enhancements; this was a logical decision, since Fraunhofer IOSB already played an important role in the development of the original open62541 project.
Demonstrator at Embedded World 2018
- Flyer distributed at the OSADL booth of the Embedded World 2018
The currently available results of the named project will be presented at the OSADL booth of Embedded World 2018 (hall 4, booth 168) in a demonstrator with several TSN nodes and concurrent real-time and non-real-time communication. The demonstrator contains a variety of TSN hardware and software implementations of various vendors that communicate to each other using a unified OPC UA implementation and provides the following features for the first time under an Open Source license that can be used in proprietary products:
- Brokerless OPC UA Pub/Sub via IP multicast and the binary message encoding format according to draft of part 14 of the OPC UA specification
- Integration of the publisher in a regular OPC UA server with additional real-time interrupting
- Implementation of the subscribers as standalone software
