Inhaltsangabe

This guide is built for engineers, integrators, and technical teams who need a clear path through industrial communication projects. It explains how Modbus and OPC UA work, where each protocol fits best, and how to connect them in systems that must be dependable, secure, and easy to maintain.

With a practical focus throughout, the book moves from core protocol behavior to real design decisions. Readers will learn how to define data flows, select protocol options based on device limits and network conditions, and translate requirements into working architectures that support both polling and event-driven communication.

What the book covers

• Modbus engineering, including RTU and TCP behavior, register mapping, function codes, polling strategies, timing, retries, and safe write handling.
• OPC UA design, including clients, servers, address spaces, subscriptions, monitored items, browsing, data types, and method calls.
• Integration planning, with guidance on bridging Modbus devices into OPC UA systems using gateways, data translation, state tracking, and verification tests.
• Network performance, covering physical media, IP planning, segmentation, latency, jitter, bandwidth, and operational observability.
• Security and resilience, with threat modeling, firewalls, certificates, authentication, access control, reconnect logic, and fault recovery practices.
• Data quality and interoperability, including scaling, units, timestamps, type safety, alarms, status handling, and long-term data contracts.

Why it stands out

The content is not limited to theory. It connects protocol details to commissioning, testing, acceptance criteria, and day-to-day maintenance. That makes it especially useful for teams building gateways, SCADA integrations, plant connectivity layers, or modernization projects where legacy Modbus equipment must coexist with OPC UA-based infrastructure.

Readers can expect a structured, implementation-oriented reference that helps reduce integration errors, improve system clarity, and support safer industrial communications.
