Abstract
The need to exchange more data in industry is growing. Automation requires more and more data to adapt technology to industrial needs correctly. This is visible in both industry (Factory 4.0) and in the Internet of Things (IoT). All these data are produced, transferred, processed and stored for further use. An affordable communication system that permits all of the necessary operations to be performed quickly and reliably is needed. One of the proposals is OPC UA. Unfortunately, there are many situations in which OPC UA is not efficient for various reasons. One of them is the lack of real-time communication in OPC UA. Another situation that is not suited for OPC UA is the setup of the server and incoming data.
In this paper, the authors will try to present some of the limitations and propose ways in which to improve the time parameters of OPC UA systems in practical applications.
