Major Automation Vendor Selects Matrikon Technology To Embed OPC UA Functionality In Reliability Product

霍尼韦尔（NYSE：HON）流程解决方案（HPS）今天宣布，Emerson Process Management选择了其Matrikon OPC Unified Architecture（UA）软件开发套件（SDK）将OPC UA嵌入其CSI 6500 ATG Machinery Health™保护系统中。

Growing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 is driving requirements for open and secure connectivity between devices (e.g., machine-to-machine or M2M) and edge-to-cloud solutions. Since OPC UA serves as a key data connectivity standard, vendors are seeking to enable their new and existing products with this technology to compete in the IIoT/Industrie 4.0 landscape. The Matrikon OPC UA SDK is a single, fully scalable toolkit that allows users to quickly and easily interconnect industrial software systems, regardless of the platform, operating system or size.

"Device vendors like Emerson are turning to the Matrikon OPC UA SDK to easily and seamlessly embed OPC UA into their products," said Elgonda La Grange, director for HPS’ Advanced Solutions software products. "This versatile toolkit has the industry’s lowest memory requirement but at the same time is highly performant. The benefit of the solution is that our customers’ developers use the same API across all processor sizes and operating systems.”

While the agreement between Emerson and Honeywell facilitates adoption across all Emerson Process Management, Honeywell’s OPC UA stack is initially deployed in the new CSI 6500 ATG protection system. Evaluation for further deployment within Emerson Process Management is ongoing.

对于使用SDK的原始设备制造商（OEM），将OPC UA功能嵌入其设备或微芯片中，Matrikon OPC UA SDK提供了一种强大的，用户友好的解决方案，以快速将产品转移到市场上。与其他OPC UA工具包不同，它在小型嵌入式环境和大型基于PC的应用程序中同样效果。这种可伸缩性使SDK成为了想要操作UA启用的多个产品线的公司“一站式”解决方案，从网络离散传感器和执行器到可编程控制器及其他产品。

According to La Grange, automation suppliers will see the Matrikon OPC UA SDK as an effective solution for deploying IIoT connectivity across their product lines. With its “server-in-a-box” design, the SDK provides vendors with a fast, easy method of implementing optimized, highly reliable OPC UA products without requiring their development engineers to be OPC UA experts – ensuring significantly reduced time to market.
