Modicon M580 - BMENUA0100 OPC UA Embedded Module, Installation and Configuration Guide

The Modicon BMENUA0100 OPC UA server module brings high performance OPC UA capabilities to Modicon M580 controller systems. OPC UA is a secure and open communications platform for industrial communications, designed to be flexible and scalable from resource constrained IoT sensors in the field through to enterprise grade servers hosted in the data center or the cloud. Beyond connecting and moving data around, OPC UA defines a comprehensive information model for publishing and managing meta-information and system context to help simplify automation engineering and systems integration. In realizing a communications standard for modern, connected industrial operations, OPC UA provides a common link between connected products in the field controllers, and enterprise applications and analytics. It is designed to be compatible with IT and security infrastructure such as firewalls, VPNs and proxies. OPC UA scales for both functional requirements and bandwidth.
