Abstract

The Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA), due to its sophisticated information modelling mechanism, has emerged as one of the principal tools for developing information models of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). However, developing information models, especially for legacy brownfield systems, remains a challenging task. This is due to the unavailability of adequate modelling techniques as well as a higher learning curve regarding the OPC UA model. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to analyse the OPC UA information modelling paradigm and propose a generic technology-agnostic modelling methodology that could act as a guideline for OPC UA information model development.
