OPC unified architecture - Part 7: Profiles

IEC 62541-7:2012 describes the OPC Unified Architecture Profiles. The Profiles are used to describe the functionality that an OPC UA Server exposes or that an OPC UA Client consumes. The details of the functionality are specified in other parts of IEC 62541.

OPC Unified Architecture - Teil 7: Profile

Architecture unifiée OPC - Partie 7: Profils

La CEI 62541-7:2012 décrit les Profils de l'Architecture unifiée OPC (OPC UA). Les Profils permettent de décrire les fonctionnalités que supportent un Serveur OPC UA ou que consomme un Client OPC UA. Les détails des fonctionnalités sont spécifiés dans les autres parties de la CEI 62541.

Enotna arhitektura OPC - 7. del: Profili (IEC 62541-7:2012)

Ta del serije IEC 62541 opisuje profile enotne arhitekture OPC. Profili so uporabljeni za opis funkcionalnosti, ki jo ponuja strežnik OPC UA ali jih uporablja odjemalec OPC UA. Podrobnejše informacije o funkcionalnosti so podane v ostalih delih standarda ISO 62541. Profile uporabljajo ponudniki, da oglašujejo zmogljivosti OPC UA svojih izdelkov. Profili, ki jih podpira izdelek, so običajno navedeni v tehničnih podatkih izdelka. Kupci na podlagi teh podatkov o profilih ugotavljajo, kateri izdelki so združljivi in izpolnjujejo posamezne aplikacijske zahteve, in nato kupijo ustrezen izdelek. Večina aplikacij OPC UA ustreza več profilom, ne pa vsem. Profili se uporabljajo za ločevanje funkcij pri določanju preskušanja izdelkov OPC UA in narave preskušanja. To vključuje preskuse, ki se izvajajo z orodjem za preskušanje skladnosti OPC UA, ki ga ponuja organizacija OPC Foundation, in preskuse, ki jih izvajajo neodvisni certifikacijski preskuševalni laboratoriji organizacije OPC Foundation. To se lahko v enaki meri nanaša tudi na orodja za preskušanje, ki jih ponujajo druge organizacije, ali preskuševalne laboratorije drugih organizacij, pri čemer je pomemben koncept preskušanja s samodejnim orodjem v primerjavi z laboratorijskim preskušanjem. Obseg te specifikacije vključuje definicijo funkcij, ki jih je mogoče preskušati samo v laboratoriju, in definicijo skupin funkcionalnosti, ki jih je treba uporabiti pri preskušanju izdelkov OPC UA v laboratoriju ali s samodejnimi orodji. Definiranje dejanskih primerov preskusov ni vključeno v obseg tega dokumenta, so pa vključene splošne kategorije primerov preskusov.
