OPC 40501-1 Machine Tools - Monitoring and Job Management
| Description | The OPC 40501 series defines standardized interfaces for machine tools, enabling seamless integration across different technologies, manufacturers, and model series. The first part establishes a common foundation for machine monitoring and job overview, independent of specific technologies. It facilitates data exchange between machine tools and software systems such as MES, SCADA, ERP, and data analytics platforms. Recent updates incorporate use cases from OPC UA for Machinery, particularly machine state monitoring, forming the basis for KPI evaluations based on ISO 22400 standards. Developed by a joint working group of VDW and the OPC Foundation, involving over 90 companies worldwide, OPC 40501-1 ensures interoperability and enhanced production transparency in industrial environments.
