Standards Organization Releases Modern, Interoperable Process Automation Standards

Overview Since the 1990s, the OPC Foundation has been establishing standards for process automation based on Microsoft DCOM. The OPC standard served the industry well for many years, but technology changes created a need for a new protocol based on open standards. To build the new OPC Unified Architecture and software development kit, programmers are relying on Windows Communication Foundation, a component of the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, for building service-oriented applications. The Unified Architecture makes possible the next generation of process automation software with support for industry-standard interoperability and communications protocols. By relying on the common programming model in the .NET Framework, OPC Foundation and its members simplify development, and manufacturers can enjoy unprecedented access to production information.
