Architecture

S2OPC architecture is based on embedded requirement:

  • Small footprint
  • OS independent
  • Minimal functionalities
  • High level of security
  • Certifications

PubSub over TSN

S2OPC is ready for integration with TSN networks.
S2OPC OPC UA realtime secure PubSub over TSN demonstrator:

S2OPC PubSub also includes:
  • Secure authentication of IIoT devices
  • Ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data exchanges with the rest of the system.
  • End-to-end encryption of the PubSub protocol with cryptoprocessor (TPM).
  • Dynamically configurable PubSub communication
  • OPC UA companion specification support
  • Multiple publishers and subscribers
  • Publisher and Subscriber scheduler
  • Multiple DSMs

The approach presented has been developed in collaboration with Thales Research & Technology.

Formal methods at the heart of development

Formal methods provide a very good confidence of bug less software. They are widely used in critical software development.

S2OPC OPC UA functionalities (OPC UA Part 4 – Services Release Specification) have been developed following the B formal method. An article has been written to explain S2OPC approach of using B method development.
