Development and Use of OPC UA Tools for Data Collection and Monitoring of Technological Equipment

Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop a specialized system for collecting and storing CNC machines data considering the possibilities of innovative technologies of OPC UA protocol, in this work an OPC UA information model was proposed and realized in OPC UA server which reflects the logical structure of a CNC machine. This research will present a collecting data method from the digital shadow of CNC system where a complete set of parameters hierarchically structured and transmit the whole set of these parameters through the OPC UA server to production data collection cloud for performing subsequent analyzing, forecasting the state of technological equipment and performing simulation procedures.
