Abstract

Industry 4.0 communication is based not only on pure data, but also on the exchange of semantic information. In addition, transmission integrity is a key factor. These tasks are essential aspects of the OPC Unified Architecture. OPC UA contains a comprehensive description language and the communication services required for information models. It is already applied in several domains including automated manufacturing, building automation, process automation, energy automation, and condition monitoring.
