Open Platform Communications, or OPC for short, enables you to exchange data between automation devices - regardless of devices and their manufacturers. To this end, the OPC Foundation has been defining open standards for decades, which are constantly being developed further. With OPC UA (Unified Architecture), you can not only transport data from machines and systems, but also describe it semantically in a machine-readable way. OPC UA is a platform-independent standard based on TCP. The protocol stack is available to members of the OPC Foundation. The OPC UA specification recognizes various profiles for scaling the individual features.
