OPC Foundation Liaison
with TR-50
OPC Foundation Liaison with TR-50
• OPC Unified Architecture for the
Internet Of Things_0.00.01
•
•
•
We've recently executed a cooperation agreement with TIA.
We have reviewed and are very interested in your recent publication TIA-4940-005,
and quickly recognize the value that this potentially brings to the industrial automation
space.
OPC Foundation and the OPC Foundation members are very interested in
contributing to the development of standards with respect to TR – 50. I understand
initial liaison opportunity with the OPC Foundation would not provide voting rights, but
ultimately by participating and attending consecutive meetings, we would be able to
elevate our status to being a core member with full voting rights.
