What is OPC UA and what does it stand for?
OPC stands for Open Platform Communication and is a communication protocol in the field of Industry 4.0 and IIoT. OPC is increasingly becoming the standard for industrial communication, as it is a general protocol that enables platform-independent communication between devices and products from a wide range of manufacturers. This makes it easy to exchange data between different areas. Data exchange between the control system of one manufacturer and the software of another is often possible in this way without any adjustments.
