Software miOPC for integrating scales into IT structure

OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) is a standard for communication in the field of industrial automation, ie. a machine-to-machine communication protocol for industrial automation. The server allows the mutual exchange of data between, e.g. scales and higher-level systems such as ERP or MES systems. miOPC software is suitable for platforms like Combics, Signum, Midrics and IS.

With miOPC, Minebea Intec, as an innovation leader, offers a new solution on the market - miOPC software compliant with the new OPC UA standard. The miOPC software installs the OPC UA server as a service and thus allows the integration of scales into the existing IT structure. The weighings can be recorded via a standard protocol in the user software.

BENEFITS:

  • simple connection of existing scales via Ethernet TCP/IP or serial RS232
  • data security through encryption
  • simple, intuitive operation

FEATURES:

  • miOPC software installs the OPC UA server as a service, enabling the integration of existing scales into the IT structure - a simple upgrade minimizes costs and risk
  • OPC UA server is fully compliant with "OPC UA Compendium Specification for Weighing Technology" - values are transmitted in a standardized format
  • current data encryption algorithms meet the highest data security requirements between server and client - especially important for Internet transmission
  • the server is managed through a browser application

OPC UA has been established as a standard in many industries. As a server solution, miOPC software is suitable for all industries. The software finds application in the food industry as well as the chemical or pharmaceutical industry. The integration of existing scales into the IT infrastructure can be monitored in a simple and user-friendly way.
