What is OPC UA?
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a platform-independent, service-oriented architecture that integrates all kinds of industrial data. It provides a standard way for different devices and systems from different vendors to communicate and exchange data securely and reliably. It's commonly used for industrial automation, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and connecting industrial equipment to enterprise systems.
What other technologies are related to OPC UA?
OPC UA Competitor Technologies
MQTT
MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol often used in IoT applications. It competes with OPC UA in data transport but lacks OPC UA's information modeling capabilities.
OPC DA
OPC DA is an older OPC standard for data access, which OPC UA is designed to replace. Therefore, it is a competitor.
Modbus
Modbus is a serial communication protocol widely used in industrial automation. It is a competitor as an alternative data communication protocol, but lacks the security and modeling features of OPC UA.
Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is a variant of Modbus using TCP/IP. It competes with OPC UA as a data communication protocol.
DNP3
DNP3 is a communication protocol used in SCADA systems and is a competitor to OPC UA as a data communication protocol.
OPC Classic
No summary available
OPC Classic refers to the original OPC standards (DA, AE, HDA), which OPC UA is designed to replace. Hence, it is a competitor.
MTConnect
MTConnect is a standard for retrieving data from manufacturing equipment. It is a competitor in the data collection and transfer space.
IEC 61850
IEC 61850 is a standard for communication networks and systems for power utility automation. It is an alternative communication protocol to OPC UA, especially in the power industry.
