OPC UA ported on ANDROID
Erlangen, October 2011. ascolab was contracted to port the ANSI C OPC UA communication stack to the mobile platform Android and MeeGo. The wide area of mobile applications on smart phones and tablets take advantage of direct conectivity to industrial devices. The porting was prety straight forward as Android 2.2 is Linux based and already contained SSL library. The OPC UA binary protocol can now be run over wireless and GSM/GPRS connections using OPC UA functionality of subscription based monitoring in a secured, authenticated and encrypted session.
The first OPC Unified Architecture Book, written by Wolfgang Mahnke, Stefan-Helmut Leitner and Matthias Damm one of the co-founders of ascolab.
