What is BS EN 62541-4 – OPC unified architecture services about?  

BS EN 62541-4 is the fourth part of a multi-series standard that provides technical specifications for services relating to OPC unified architecture which ensures encryption and smooth flow of data.  

BS EN 62541-4 defines the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) services. The Services defined are the collection of abstract Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) that are implemented by OPC UA Servers occur via these Services. All interactions between OPC UA Clients and Servers occur via these Services. 

Who is BS EN 62541-4 – OPC unified architecture services for? 

BS EN 62541-4 on OPC unified architecture services is useful for: 

• Companies shifting to service-oriented architecture  
• Consultants working with software architecture  
• Developers and designers of unified architecture 

Why should you use BS EN 62541-4 – OPC unified architecture services?  

OPC unified architecture is an interoperability standard for transferring data securely and reliably in industrial automation and other industries. It is a platform-independent, service-oriented architecture that ensures a smooth flow of data across devices from various manufacturers.  

BS EN 62541-4 provides you a comprehensive guide on service sets, security, common parameter type definitions, figures and tables which allow you to set up secure services, encrypt and audit them.  

BS EN 62541-4 provides you with all the technical guidance about OPC unified architecture that combines all the performance services of the individual OPC specifications into one stretchable framework which is feasible to use.
