Overview / Charter
This companion specification shall enable standard OPC UA Services to access the objects and services of CIP devices in a vendor independent way. This access can happen through an OPC UA Server directly integrated in the CIP device, or through an OPC UA Server aggregating Object Dictionaries of multiple CIP devices. This will allow communication from any OPC UA Client to interact with any CIP devices represented in an OPC UA Server, regardless of location in the process or enterprise level, e.g. for diagnostics, configuration, condition monitoring, visualization etc.
