Phoenix Contact: OPC standardisation of industrial communication
As a provider in the field of communication and automation technology, Phoenix Contact has driven the networking of machines and systems, from the sensor to the controller up to the cloud, forward for many years now. In order to obtain a uniform, cross-manufacturer communication standard, Phoenix Contact and other companies support the OPC Foundation in its efforts to harmonise and standardise OPC UA up to the field level. Phoenix Contact, as one of the biggest driving forces of this initiative, will be part of the OPC Foundation's working groups and thus define a new standard for every device in OT - from sensors to actuators through to controllers.
