Systerel announces that it has joined the STMicroelectronics Partner Program to make its open-source Safe &Secure OPC UA implementation,S2OPC, available to a wider audience of device users.

Through several implementations of the OPC UA technology in an industrial context, Systerel has developed its expertise on the OPC UA standard. Systerel offers professional services for all life cycle phases. According to the customer request, Systerel will adapt the development process to be compliant with specific standards (IEC, CENELEC…) and safe and secure requirements.

Systerel develops an open-source OPC UA implementation: Safe&Secure OPC (S2OPC), designed to target the safety, cyber-security and real-time constraints of embedded products.

S2OPC has all the characteristics allowing it to be integrated on STMicroelectronics STM32H7-series microcontrollers and STM32MP1-Series microprocessors on which Systerel provides support. On microcontrollers, Systerel has optimized the memory footprint. S2OPC integrates real-time standard and operates on several real-time OS such as FreeRTOS and Zephyr. On microprocessors, S2OPC is integrated with OpenSTLinux distribution.

S2OPC is currently being deployed in many industrial, railway or space devices that require high robustness and interoperability: from strongly constrained by cybersecurity IoT to supervision systems. Through its engineering activities, Systerel can deliver a large panel of services dedicated to S2OPC evolution or integration.

“The ST Partner Program is a high-value offering that has exceeded the expectations of our Customers and Partners helping customers’ design teams access strong supplemental skills, tools, and resources that meet design time-to-market challenges across the full ecosystem of products and services while easily integrating ST devices in their projects,” said Alessandro Maloberti, Partner Ecosystem Director, STMicroelectronics. “By selecting, qualifying, and certifying ST Authorized Partners, customers know that the partners they engage have the expertise to accelerate their design and development activities and ensure they ship the most robust and efficient products and services to market.”

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications created the ST Partner Program to speed customer development efforts by identifying and highlighting to them companies with complementary products and services. Moreover, the program’s certification process assures that all partners are periodically vetted for quality and competence. For more information, please visit www.st.com/partners
