Course Description

The Arduino is being used more and more every day for small scale SCADA and Automation projects, due to it's low cost and ease of connecting with various types of I/O devices. In many projects there is a need to connect the controller to a SCADA Human Machine Interface (HMI) application for the purposes of data visualization.

OPC has become the essential de-facto standard for HMI communications with controllers from different vendors. It becomes quite useful, therefore, for an Arduino to be able to communicate with a SCADA HMI application via OPC.

That is what this course teaches you to do!

In this course, you will learn ...

1. How to download and install a FREE OPC server designed for the Arduino.

2. How to program the Arduino so that it is able to communicate with an OPC server via serial and network media.

3. How to use a simple OPC client to test OPC communication with the Arduino via the OPC server.

4. How to configure a simple SCADA HMI to read data from and write data to the Arduino via OPC.

The course has ready-to-go code that you can download as well as detailed wiring diagrams that you can use to build your own automation projects.

Instructor Details

Emile Ackbarali

          I have been working in the fields of Software Development, Software Systems Integration and Process Automation since 1996. In 2003, I stepped out on my own and started working for myself providing software development and systems integration services to small and medium businesses.       

          Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have taught at the tertiary level for many years on the subjects of programming, control systems as well as systems integration. In the last few years I found myself incorporating more and more videos into the curriculum with amazing results. 

          When I heard of uDemy I just could not help but sign up. With teaching in a classroom, you can reach only so many students, but with uDemy you can reach the world! I plan to publish and promote as many courses as I possibly can on the uDemy platform.

The instructor were so clear and easy to understand. He was a very good teacher. I wish i had teachers like him on my University School.

By INK Wardana on 3/9/2021

A very nice course and clear explanations. It will be nicer if you can give a demo on how to use multiple Arduinos connected to the OPC server. Thank you.

By Peer Thang on 9/17/2020

Thank you so much sir, I have learned a lot and get an idea to do the next thing.

By John D. Catuara on 7/16/2020

Positive: 1) Excellent presentation clear audio and matching slides. 2) Very well presented course with overview of OPC for Arduino. 3) Very well spoken, with clearly spoken English, which is refreshing because his dialog is easy to follow and understand. Negative: No Negatives

Great info, i've learned what i was looking for, i did it with a ATMega2560 and it works perfect. Thanks Emile for sharing us your knowledge

By José Roberto de Souza Filho on 3/4/2020

A Tinkercad was missing, very outdated, today with an ESP8266 you can already do an HMI on the web

By Samuel Franck on 10/17/2019

It's very easy to understand and allows us to do many cool things with Arduino.

By Brandon DeLillo on 9/1/2019

Every course I've taken from Emile has been outstanding! He explains everything very clearly and very concisely! Top noch instructor. Highly recommend any of his courses!
