Abstract :
Generally, interoperability in all the levels of a communication architecture (field, unit, plant and management level) is a feature that cannot be easily satisfied because equipments are based on different technologies and communication protocols. OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) can provide a cohesive, secure and reliable cross platform framework for interoperability, as shown by current literature. This paper deals with the integration of KNX information model with OPC UA.
