Beckhoff Automation adds OPC Unified Architecture to control software

OPC Unified Architecture and TwinCAT: New, platform-independent communication and information technology
OPC統(tǒng)一架構(gòu)和TwinCAT:新型獨(dú)立平臺(tái)通信和信息技術(shù)
Minneapolis, December 12, 2006 – To bring even greater openness to automation and control applications, Beckhoff Automation’s TwinCAT automation software now conforms to OPC UA (Unified Architecture). As one of the first to implement the new OPC UA specification, Beckhoff featured a live demonstration of this leading edge technology in their PC-based controllers at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2006 trade show in Nuremberg, Germany.
明尼阿波利斯12月12日消息——為了給自動(dòng)化和控制應(yīng)用帶來(lái)更大的開(kāi)放度,倍福自動(dòng)化的TwinCAT自動(dòng)化軟件現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始兼容OPC UA (統(tǒng)一架構(gòu))。作為最先實(shí)施最新OPC統(tǒng)一架構(gòu)規(guī)范的公司之一,倍福在德國(guó)紐倫堡的SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2006展會(huì)上生動(dòng)地展示了其PC-based 控制器的領(lǐng)先尖端技術(shù)。
OPC is an established and recognized standard for data exchange between control and HMI in manufacturing and process automation. Previous OPC technology is based on the Microsoft COM/DCOM model and is limited to Microsoft-based operating systems.
OPC 是生產(chǎn)以及過(guò)程自動(dòng)化的控制和人機(jī)界面之間數(shù)據(jù)交換的一個(gè)已有的公認(rèn)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。先前的OPC技術(shù)是基于微軟的COM/DCOM技術(shù),而且局限于微軟的操作系統(tǒng)。
Applications connecting to the MES and ERP levels result in new challenges in terms of scalability, network capability, platform independence and security. The new OPC UA standard is based on TCP communication and is, therefore, platform-independent. The "Unified Architecture" specification creates the basis for new platform-independent communication and information technologies.
鏈接MES(生產(chǎn)執(zhí)行系統(tǒng))和ERP(企業(yè)資源計(jì)劃)級(jí)別的應(yīng)用在可升級(jí)性、網(wǎng)絡(luò)容量、平臺(tái)獨(dú)立性和安全性等方面產(chǎn)生了新的挑戰(zhàn)。最新的OPC UA標(biāo)準(zhǔn)基于TCP通信協(xié)議,因此,它是平臺(tái)獨(dú)立的。該“統(tǒng)一架構(gòu)”規(guī)范為新型獨(dú)立平臺(tái)通信和信息技術(shù)創(chuàng)造了基礎(chǔ)。
In addition to platform independence, a further advantage is that only a minimum amount of OPC configuration is required in networks. Direct UA TCP communication is available as soon as a PLC is available in the network. In addition to standardized exchange of PLC process data, the OPC UA solution from Beckhoff also offers device-specific information and services.
除了平臺(tái)獨(dú)立之外,更深一層的優(yōu)勢(shì)是網(wǎng)絡(luò)所需要的OPC配置量極小。一旦網(wǎng)絡(luò)中有一臺(tái)PLC可用,直接 UA TCP通信馬上可以實(shí)現(xiàn)。除了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化PLC過(guò)程數(shù)據(jù)的交換,倍福的OPC統(tǒng)一架構(gòu)解決方案還提供特殊設(shè)備信息和服務(wù)。
