OPC is the interoperability standard IEC 62541 for the secure and reliable exchange of data in the industrial automation space and other industries. It is platform independent and ensures seamless flow of information among devices from multiple vendors.
The OPC standard is a series of specifications developed by industry vendors, end-users and software developers. These specifications define the interface between Clients and Servers, as well as Servers and Servers, including access to real-time data, monitoring of alarms and events, access to historical data and other applications.
