Original Abstract Submitted

Examples of techniques to enable transmission of alarm data in an industrial automation setting using a publish-subscribe communication system within an Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) framework. In an example, the alarm data, initially encoded in OPC UA format, is collected from an OPC UA server over a client-server communication system. This data is then re-encoded into a target format compatible with a publish-subscribe communication network. The re-encoding process involves decoding a value from the alarm data based on OPC UA specifications and assigning the decoded value to a preidentified field in the target format. The re-encoded alarm data is then assigned to a message payload of a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) packet, which is subsequently published to an MQTT broker.
