Overview
OPC UA VDMA Client/Server
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a universal communication protocol that allows machines, robots, and software to exchange data securely and efficiently. It ensures that your UR robots can seamlessly connect with other automation systems, creating a smarter and more integrated production environment.
Benefits:
- Simple installation and configuration for instant connectivity.
- Configure your UR robot as a client, server, or both to fit your needs.
- Direct communication without additional components.
- Fully compliant with OPC UA security standards to protect your data.
- VDMA & OPC Foundation compliant.
Specifications
The OPC UA implementation on application level can act as both server and client. Configure it based on your requirements.
It translates data in the UR robot program into OPC UA data and sends it over the network to the desired OPC UA Server/Client.
It can receive data over the network from other OPC UA Servers and translate it into variables in the UR robot program. Lets you securely set up connections between the robot and network through standard OPC UA authentication and certificates. It is compatible with both CB3- and e-Series!
Software version required
CB-series (3.1): Polyscope version 3.8 or higher.
E-series: Polyscope version 5.2 or higher.
Dependencies
Network connection to other OPC UA-enabled software or hardware, such as MES, Plc, HMI, M2M, etc.
