OPC UA LADS

The Laboratory and Analyitcal Device Standard on OPC UA
README.md

Hi there 👋 - A warm welcome to OPC UA LADS - the "Laboratory & Analytical Device Standard" built on OPC UA

Browse the standard: https://reference.opcfoundation.org/LADS/v100/docs/

We want to help you get started and enable you to enter the strong foundations of the OPC UA ecosystem for your laboratory/analytical devices.

1. Learn about OPC UA

As a first step we want to encourage you to learn more about OPC UA, so it becomes even cleare why we chose to create LADS upon this strong foundation:

and for more information have a look at this playlist:

2. Learn about the concepts of OPC UA LADS

If you directly want to dive into OPC UA LADS, we can recommend recorded talks by Dr. Matthias Arnold, the lead author of OPC UA LADS 30500:

3. Create a OPC UA LADS device

If you are all prepared with the theory, then you may want to get started with our workshop example: https://github.com/opcua-lads/workshop

The workshop provides a complete device model and a server utilizing nodejs/ts.

Soon we will link additional exmaples to use the workshop device model also with prominent stacks for C/C++ and C#

4. Helpful tools for OPC UA LADS

For the time being, have a look at these stacks and tools to get setup properly:

Modellers:

SioME provided free of charge by Siemens: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109755133/siemens-opc-ua-modeling-editor-(siome)?dti=0&lc=en-DE

Unified Automation Modeller, wit basic functionality for free: https://www.unified-automation.com/de/produkte/entwicklerwerkzeuge/uamodeler.html

Generic clients:

Unified Automation UA Expert: https://www.unified-automation.com/de/produkte/entwicklerwerkzeuge/uaexpert.html

Prosys OPC UA: https://prosysopc.com/products/opc-ua-browser/

Technology stacks to get started: There are more stacks out there, this is the list of the most prominent ones used at the LADShack hackathons:

nodejs/typescript: https://github.com/node-opcua/node-opcua

C# / .Net: Official stack by the foundation: https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard

Stack provided by unified automation: https://www.unified-automation.com/de/produkte/server-sdk/net-ua-server-sdk.html

Ansi C/ C++: https://github.com/open62541/open62541
