After the OPC Foundation released the final OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Phase One Deliverables in February 2009, the question on many minds was, “What does this mean to me?” While OPC UA covers a wide range of topics and functionality, what people really want to know is: What is it, how does it help me, and where can I get it?

The whitepaper, OPC UA: 5 Things Everyone Needs To Know, provides a compelling summary of answers to those questions. Topics covered include guiding principles for service-based architectures, the security infrastructure supported by OPC UA, the cross-platform functionality available with OPC UA, tips for a quick startup, and where to find OPC UA solutions.
