About OPC

OPC and OPC UA (Unified Architecture) are industry standards that enable software to connect devices, machines and systems from different manufacturers using same interface. OPC servers add value for any device, machine or system, as it reduces any integration or application software development costs. Similarly OPC clients and applicatian software utilizing OPC client features, can be connected to any OPC server in a standard way without customization.

OPC Foundation has over 300 members from around the world, including nearly all of the world's major providers of control systems, instrumentation. OPC Foundation is dedicated to ensuring interoperability in automation by creating and maintaining open specifications that standardize the communication of acquired process data, alarm and event records, historical data, and batch data to multi-vendor enterprise systems and between production devices. Production devices include sensors, instruments, PLCs, RTUs, DCSs, HMIs, historians, trending subsystems, alarm subsystems, and more as used in the process industry, manufacturing, and in acquiring and transporting oil, gas, and minerals.

All OPC specifications are developed and managed by OPC Foundation. The vision of OPC is to be the foundation for INTEROPERABILITY for moving information vertically from the factory floor through the enterprise of multi-vendor systems as well as providing INTEROPERABILITY between devices on different industrial networks from different vendors.
