Multi-protocol Integration and Intercommunication Technology Based on OPC UA and MQTT

Abstract

Abstract OPC UA and MQTT are widely recognized key technologies for realizing the interconnection and intercommunication of industrial equipment as well as data transmission to the cloud. Based on OPC UA and MQTT, this paper presents a new method to solve the problem of multiple protocols coexistence and information islands in industry. Using the unified name ID to create mappings between OPC UA, MQTT and data acquisition drive, a shared database as data consistency communication medium to support concurrent data reading and writing of OPC UA and MQTT, a data acquisition drive as trigger to realize OPC UA and MQTT data synchronization update. Thus the difficulties of multi-protocol device integration and intercommunication and data uploading to the cloud can be tackled.
