Driving the standard for automation and future-proofed IIoT architectures
J
ust as HTML spurred growth of the Web, the new Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA) interoperability standard will enable industrial players to unlock the full potential of Industry 4.0. In an announcement
published by the OPC Foundation, the organisation states its vision of becoming the worldwide industrial interoperability standard. This seamless IIoT communication standard, called Open Platform Communication Unified
Architecture will apply for all levels of industrial automation. Combined with Time Sensitive Networking (OPC UA over TSN) it will be able to replace a myriad of different fieldbus systems. Forecasting the end of disparate protocols, it will enable devices from different vendors to talk to each other - from the field level to the controller level all the way to the cloud. ABB is committed to support
the industry-wide adoption of OPC UA over TSN. At the vanguard of driving
interoperability in industrial automation, ABB and B&R - the acquired and integrated solutions provider for machine and factory automation - have played a pivotal role in bringing together industry stakeholders to establish an open standards based communication for Industrial IoT. Additionally, ABB will take up a designated seat on the board of the OPC Foundation in 2019 to further help accelerate development of the new technology.
