Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 1 or 2 computer science students teams.

The primary focus for the student(s) will be the design and development of the REST Adapter for OPC UA: protocol converting middleware software application, providing access to any OPC UA Server via the REST interface.

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is the data exchange standard for secure, reliable, manufacturer- and platform-independent industrial communications. It is considered a major communications standard to use in the Industrial Internet of Things domain.

The REST Adapter for OPC UA is aimed to simplify the integration of applications written in high-level languages (JavaScript, PHP) with OPC UA Servers. For example, HMI, EPR, or MES applications.

Our goal at the end of this experience is: to create a fully functioning application with documentation.

As a minimal, the following features should be supported:

• Browsing of available OPC UA Servers and their endpoints using FindServers and GetEndpoints service calls;
• Browse OPC UA Server's address space;
• Read node attributes
• Creating subscriptions and monitored items;

Optionally, more features can be supported:

• Write values to variables;
• Read historical data.
• Write historical data.

This project optionally can include the design and development of the open-source sample OPC UA Web Client application which uses as a backend REST Adapter for OPC UA. This client application can be created by a separate team.

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Riipen messaging and set of tools commonly used for remote work: web conference system (Skype or Microsoft Teams), email, tools used in software development projects (Atlassian Jira and Confluence).
