Due to the platform independence, the integrated security concept andthe data type information supplied with the data, OPC UA provides the basis for machine-readable and cross-level communication.n Classic variant not scalable and exclusively for Microsoft WindowsÒn For each type of data transfer, such as real-time data, history data, interrupts, events,etc., a separate solution with its own semantics is required, such as OPC DA, OPCHDA, OPC A&E, etc.n Separate and complex effort required for security settings.PreconditionStandard for data andinformation exchangeOPC - Open PlatformCommunicationsVIPA System SLIODeployment OPC UABasics OPC UA > OPC UAHB300 | CPU | 013-CCF0R00 | en | 19-30184
