  3. Why OPC ? • Interoperability • Standards : fact or fiction? • Where did OPC come from? • Four Core Companies • OPC Foundation • Write a communications driver one time • Solve World Hunger? Thomas J.Burke

  4. Where did OPC come from? • 1995 OPC Foundation task force • Spin-off from WinSem Group • Intellution, Rockwell Software, Fisher Rosemount, opto 22, (intuitive) • “solve the driver problem” • Success is measured by level of adoption • High-value vendor problem solved • Proven Technology Thomas J.Burke

  5. The Members • Membership demographics • All “large” automation companies are members (Siemens, ABB, Rockwell, Honeywell…) • 45% of all members are small companies (<2 Mio$) • Membership distribution per continent • Equal amount of members within Europe and North America Thomas J.Burke

  6. PLC Controller DCS ... Application X Application Y OPC History • The Problem • Many different vendors • Custom made solutions • Proprietary technologies • Point-to-point Integration • Limited “real-time” information • Maintenance nightmare • Multiple dependencies • Solution • OPC Display Application Trend Application OPC OPC PLC DCS Controller Thomas J.Burke

  7. MES and/or HMI Applications (OPC Client) OPC Data Access Architecture Software App provides a linkage between OPC Client(s) and devices OPC Server PLC PLC Proprietary Messaging OPC Data Access Thomas J.Burke

  8. OPC – Functional Areas • Data Access • Alarms & Events • Historical Data Access • Complex Data • Batch • Data eXchange • XML Data Access • Commands • Security Thomas J.Burke

  9. History of OPC Foundation • September 1996 • Formation of: Fisher-Rosemount, Rockwell Software, Opto 22, Intellution, and Intuitive Technology • February 1997 • Foundation of OPC Europe • October 1998 • Release of Data Access Specification 2.0 • June 1999 • Release of Alarm & Events Specification 1.0 • 2000 • OPC XML and OPC DX were announced • October 2002 • Release of OPC XML-DA Specification 1.0 • 2004 >>> OPC UA Workgroup Kick-Off Thomas J.Burke

  10. ServerCluster Mainframe devices portables desktops servers clusters mainframes DesktopPC Portables Controllers Embedded Systems OPC Unified Architecture Standard internet protocols allow cross-platform communication Server • Multiple UA APIs • C/C++ • JAVA • Microsoft .NET Thomas J.Burke

  11. OPC Foundation • International Industry Standard Organization • 400+ Member Companies / 100+ end-users Members • 2500+ Total Companies Build OPC Products = 15000+ Products • The vision of OPC is to be the Foundation for interOperability • for moving information vertically from the factory floor through the enterprise of multi-vendor systems (with stops in between…) • For moving information horizontally between devices on different industrial networks from different vendors; • Not just data but information……. • Reliable, Secure Integration is not an Option • Collaboration is key to pulling multiple “open” standards into unified open platform architecture…. Thomas J.Burke

  12. Annual Member Meeting General AssemblyOPC Members Elected by General Membership Board of Directors Elected by the Board of Directors OPC Foundation Officers Technical Advisory Council Marketing Steering Committee OPC Foundation Organization Appointed by Board of Directors End-user Advisory Council Intellectual Property Counsel OPC Liaison Collaboration Technical Working Groups Marketing Advisory Council Thomas J.Burke

  13. OPC Tomorrow • Extensive growth in the field of high level application is expected, software marked above HMI and SCADA • Extensive growth in the field of embedded devices and intelligent sensors is expected, software marked below PLCs and drivers • Membership growth up to 1000 within the next 6 years • In 2002 UA working Group was announced • 3 years of work by more than 25 permanently involved people, regular meetings, uncountable telephone conferences, thousands of working hours • >>> The way is paved for OPC Unified Architecture Thomas J.Burke

  14. OPC Provides Industry-Standard interOperability, Productivity & Collaboration ERP, SAP … Corporate Enterprise OPC Unified Architecture Manufacturing, Production and Maintenance OPC Unified Architecture Adv. Control HMI MES SCADA Batch OPC OPC OPC PC-Based Control OPC PLC DCS Industrial Networks Data Acquisition ??.......?? Thomas J.Burke

  15. P P P P L L L L OPC Unified Architecture Open Standards to Deliver Interoperability Device to Device and Device to the Enterprise MIS Device Data Enterprise Integration (ERP, Asset Management, Advanced Diagnostics, etc.) APPLICATION PACKAGES Configuration Subsystem Integration Device Integration (FF, Profibus, HART, etc) Thomas J.Burke

  16. Cross Industry /Collaboration Interoperability Strategy • OPC used in process & discrete manufacturing • OPC adopted in the following: • Semiconductor • Plant Maintenance and Production Management • Industrial Ethernet ….. • Security • Building Controls • RFID • Retail/ Financial • …. • Collaboration with MIMOSA • Collaboration with ISA (S88, S95, S99) • Collaboration with OAGi • Collaboration with IEC • Collaboration with EDDL • Collaboration with MS MUG & NAMUR • Collaboration with …… (stay tuned) Markets Collaboration Thomas J.Burke

  17. The Vision of OPC • Success Is Measured By Level Of Adoption • Collaboration • 24/7 Reliability • OPC Is Plug-and-play • OPC Is Everywhere • Get Connected Thomas J.Burke

  18. OPC is Dedicated to Interoperability • Security • Reliability • Interoperability • Performance • Adopted Standard • Open Platform • Automation to Enterprise Integration • Openness, Productivity & Collaboration Thomas J.Burke
