OPC Foundation Liaison

with TR-50

OPC Foundation Liaison with TR-50

• OPC Unified Architecture for the Internet Of Things_0.00.01

• We've recently executed a cooperation agreement with TIA. • We have reviewed and are very interested in your recent publication TIA-4940-005,

and quickly recognize the value that this potentially brings to the industrial automation space.

• OPC Foundation and the OPC Foundation members are very interested in contributing to the development of standards with respect to TR – 50. I understand initial liaison opportunity with the OPC Foundation would not provide voting rights, but ultimately by participating and attending consecutive meetings, we would be able to elevate our status to being a core member with full voting rights.

OPC UA Products Embedded• PLC

– PLC integrated OPC UA servers available– PLC vendors released embedded

UA servers

• IEC 61131-3 vendors

– IEC 61131-3 system vendors tested embedded UA servers

– Integration into runtime IEC 61131-3 runtime systems

• Embedded HMI

– Windows CE based HMI vendors implementing OPC UA clients

• OPC Unified Architecture on a chip !

– Opportunities to expand into other domains, like security and building automation
