OPC Software

SCHMIDT OPC Data exchange via the de facto automation standard

In the field of automation, data communication, using coordinated systems and the reference level, is becoming increasingly important. OPC defines a manufacturer-independent interface.

All parties participating in the communication must only support this interface. The OPC-capable components can be combined just like elements of a construction kit.

Example: Process visualization
OPC connects all production machines (with industry PC-based control [IPC]) of a production area to a process visualization. This achieves impressive outcomes:

• Centralization of fault and operating messages
• Unique message system for all machines
• Individual user interface design
