VDMA 40001 - OPC UA for Machinery

Connections to other Concepts

Through the central coordination in the VDMA, it turned out that some interface contents occur across industries.
These contents are to be mapped in a basic specification for the entire factory and plant engineering sector.
It serves as a basis for existing and emerging Companion Specifications.
In order to enable an early and demand-oriented adaptation, the contents are developed and published in so-called building blocks.
Each module represents one or more specific use case.
The first implemented building blocks are intended for the identification of machines and components for the entire shop floor.
Furthermore, the status of machines and components, for example, was described in order to provide the basis for calculating key figures.
