1. UA-5200 IIoT Communication Server
This chapter introduces the UA-5200 and its functions, software/hardware specifications...
1.1. Introduction
The UA-5200 is a series of data acquisition controller and also an IIoT communication server by ICP
DAS (IIoT: Industrial Internet of Things). The UA-5200 built-in OPC UA Server and MQTT Client
Service support a variety of common industrial communication protocols. Its RISC-based CPU
architecture has the advantages of small size and low power consumption that lets this series can
be placed in a small space to fit a variety of rooms, equipment and case environment. In the
hardware, it provides a variety of communication interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB, RS-232
and RS-485… ports to connect diverse devices.
Applying the OPC UA, the UA-5200 can integrate the I/O products and the third-party devices,
import their data to the back-end SCADA management system or the big-data analysis/decision
system, to satisfy the reliability, interoperability and security needs of the Industrial 4.0
automation system. Using the MQTT active communications to bridge the Internet of Things (IoT)
and transmit the statuses of various devices by the cloud-based interaction so that to meet the
current trend of the IIoT and achieve the full smart automation system based on Industry 4.0.

1.2. Function Features
Web-based UI
With the Web-based User Interface, users can log in and configure the controller via a normal
web browser that only need a mobile device or computer with web browsing capabilities.
OPC UA Server: IEC 62541 Standard
The OPC UA Server certified by the OPC Foundation can assist the integration for the
local-end devices, actively upload data to the application system, and support to across the
multiple platforms.
PID Logic Operation
The PID function can dynamically combine the remote I/O devices for the PID logic control to
provide temperature control and case field solutions.
Support Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII Master
Through the controller's RS-485, RS-232 and Ethernet ports can connect to the Modbus
TCP/RTU/ASCII Slave devices. Build systems with scalability and flexibility to meet the diverse
application needs and expansion at any time.
MQTT Broker Inside
Compliance with MQTT v3.1.1 protocol. Support MQTT message distribution management.
Users do not need to build Broker system when using MQTT communications.
Support MQTT Protocol
Support MQTT to allow the IoT devices communicating with the OPC UA system and the
UA-5200 conducting the data acquisition and management; and also can convert and publish
the devices' data under the UA-5200 to the IoT system.
