Enabling Industry 4.0 with OPC UA

Comtrol’s IO-Link Masters to simultaneously provide a sensors Process data to PLC platforms, while also sending the sensors ISDU Service and Process data via Modbus TCP or OPC-UA upstream to IIoT/Industrie 4.0 Cloud solutions or SCADA systems.

Benefits of OPC UA

• No PLC required
• The IO-Link Master OPC UA series combines the benefits of the IO-Link standard, OPC UA and additional use of EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP and PROFINET IO protocols simultaneously.
• Comtrol’s IO-Link Master allows you to solely use OPC UA, without a PLC involved, which saves on hardware and software costs.
• Send IO-Link or Digital device information directly up to software systems such as Ignition, Xetics, GE Proficy, Wonderware, Iconics, or any other client software supporting OPC UA.
• Open architecture
• IIoT and Industry 4.0 enabled
• Simultaneous connection using
• EtherNet/IP, OPC UA and Modbus TCP
• Profinet, OPC UA and Modbus TCP
• Provide sensor data to monitor machine efficiency
• Countless application possibilities

OPC UA Provides Sensor Data Analytics
