Machine Terminals

OPC-Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) is the data exchange standard for a secure, reliable, manufacturer- and platform-independent industrial communication. OPC-UA makes data from a wide variety of technical systems within a company available to everyone and thus fulfils a fundamental prerequisite for the realisation of Industry 4.0.

Our MES software SK-go!^® and the current MES machine terminals support this standard and allow platform-independent communication with other data acquisition systems in the company. With the help of the compact OPC-UA box, our MES terminals and monitoring systems are easily networked with other systems via this universal communication standard. The OPC-UA box with integrated microcontroller converts the information from the MES terminals into the OPC-UA data format.

Today, many companies already require that upcoming technical investments must fulfil the OPC-UA standard.
