OPC UA – Structured data up to the cloud
Smart. Semantic. The open, Ethernet-based communication standard OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) offers optimal conditions for digitalization. Ideal for communication between machines and vertical connectivity to the cloud. For real-time communication at the field level, Siemens combines OPC UA with PROFINET in a common Industrial Ethernet network.
