OPC UA is a platform-independent, service-oriented communication architecture, offering reliable, secure, and universal data transport from the production level to the production planning and ERP system or even to the cloud. The diverse application possibilities of OPC UA are also reflected in the Beckhoff product range. From offering Industrial PC diagnostic options, which are made available via OPC UA, to accessing TwinCAT real-time data, all the way to connecting OPC UA devices to the TwinCAT HMI visualization system and even the cloud, Beckhoff products open up a wide range of possibilities for using OPC UA in automation projects.

In this 45-minute webinar, Sven Goldstein and Michael Knossalla from the TwinCAT Product Management team will be providing an insight into the initial commissioning phase of the TwinCAT OPC UA supplement product. They will also highlight various OPC UA security aspects in relation to the product and provide information on recommended courses of action.
