Overview

The 2015 OPC Foundation Interoperability Workshop (IOP) for Asia will be hosted again this year at the Time24 Building Tokyo Big Sight. This workshop is “the” event for testing OPC products for interoperability and preparing them for market. Vendors an test and debug their products against one another for interoperability, compliance, and reliability. IOP workshops also provide an ideal opportunity to network with your peers and learn about OPC technology.

Interoperability Workshops are open to OPC Foundation member companies only. Space is limited to 60 attendees so register now!

This workshop will be operated by OPC Foundation Japan. English translation will not be provided.

Test & Debug in a Real-World Environment

The Interoperability Workshop is a “must attend” event for anyone preparing their OPC UA and COM-based products for market. Test and debug your applications while running against dozens of other vendor products in a real-world environment including Windows, Linux, and Embedded devices. The 2014 IOPs were very successful, with several members reporting that it was “extremely valuable” in preparing their products for release.

Challenge “Stress” Test

This year’s IOP will see the return of the Challenge Test, in which multiple OPC clients and servers will be stress tested with thousands of tags/nodes per connection, concurrently during network connectivity losses.

Products that successfully pass the Challenge Test are ideal candidates for OPC Foundation lab certification.

Available OPC Technology For Testing

• OPC Unified Architecture (UA) – Windows, Linux, Embedded
• OPC Classic (COM-based)

Provided Infrastructure For Testing

• Local Area Network consisting of a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable
• Internet access
• Web-based application providing Test suggestions and for recording test results

Agenda

Day 1 (morning)

We will start with network configuration, followed by certification configuration for UA and DCOM configuration for OPC Classic . A “share” partition on the file server can be used to exchange files if necessary.

For the rest of the morning:

• All Servers have to be specified by means of a Web-based entry-form (Entrypoint and/or ProgID, general properties, supported optional interfaces, supported Node IDs/ItemIDs /Conditions. These data will go into the test database and will be available for the clients as test data.
• Clients will also use Web-based entry-forms to find available servers, view their properties, select them for testing, fill in test results, etc.

Day 1 (afternoon) to Day 3 (morning)

These three days will be available for general testing. Every client has to perform an IOP test with every server of different vendors. Web-based forms will show the status with respect to available servers and clients.

Each client vendor has to enter the test results for each tested server into the database (web-based again). The database will be available to all participants at the end of the workshop.

Some of us will be available to help resolve general problems (Certification trust, DCOM, network, specification ambiguities)

Day 3 (afternoon)

On the afternoon of the last day, the concrete contents of the test are explained to those who take an certification test. Then, the challenge time is held.

Finally we complete the database with all results and making the results available to you. The workshop will end by 17:00.
