OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture)

Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture

Industrial interoperability standard for secure, platform-independent machine and system data exchange.

Examples

  1. 01Using OPC UA, the new injection moulding machines send cycle time, temperatures and alarms to the MES without custom drivers.
  2. 02OPC UA data from all machines is integrated into one data model, so every machine reports counts in the same way.
  3. 03Standard OPC UA diagnostics help IT and controls engineers find which device stopped sending data.
