AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF OPC UA SERVERS AND CLIENTS FROM KNOWLEDGE MODELS

摘要

A system and method for automatic generation of a server based on a knowledge model includes a translator performs a structure translation of a knowledge model of a physical component in an autonomous system to generate instances of an Open Platform Communications (OPC) Unified Architecture (UA) model by parsing implicit semantics of the knowledge model and applying heuristic mapping of elements of knowledge model instances to attributes and references of the OPC UA model. A synthesizer synthesizes code to expose OPC UA instances in a server by matching the instances with instance implementations stored in a library and creating an object or class for each instance implementation.
