September 24, 2013 – ICONICS achieved the OPC Foundation’s Lab Certification for its GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA platform. GENESIS64 now has certified compliance for OPC UA, OPC, BACnet, Modbus IP and SNMP. OPC UA is a high performance and very secure interface and communications protocol designed to share real-time, historical and event data between systems and clients. ICONICS GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA solution is built upon ICONICS' Platform Services, which includes universal connectivity to OPC UA, OPC, BACnet, SNMP, Databases and Web Services. Through this powerful middleware, GENESIS64 can now make available, through the OPC UA interface, virtually any equipment, process, operation or business data.
For example, OPC UA clients can now access:
- Registers and Data from Virtually Any PLC or DCS System
- Equipment Maintenance Records from Most Maintenance Management Systems
- Energy Data from Any Metering System
- Incoming Order Data from Any ERP System
Critical to Industrial Automation systems are the protection of control systems and all related communications. OPC UA, and ICONICS' implementation of OPC UA, provides multiple layers of protection, including user-generated and authority-generated certificate authorization, symmetric encryption, signatures on all communications and strict user authentication.
