TwinCAT OPC UA: Platform-independent and secure data exchange |
|||
 |
Beckhoff implements the new OPC UA specification in its PC-based controllers. OPC is an established and recognized standard for data exchange between control and HMI in manufacturing and process automation. The new “Unified Architecture” specification creates the basis for a platform-independent communication and information technology. UA offers scalability, network capability, platform independence and security. Therefore, it can be used in a wide range of applications, including the control, MES and ERP layer. At the Hanover Fair in the “Application Park” Beckhoff demonstrated the potential of OPC UA based on production technology and robotics applications. ... |
