ODVA announces joint working group with OPC Foundation
ODVA宣布與OPC基金會成立聯(lián)合工作組

ODVA announced that it has launched a joint working group with the OPC Foundation to develop an OPC UA companion specification to the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). The collaboration between ODVA and the OPC Foundation will result in secure communications between devices that are a part of a CIP-enabled Industrial Control System (ICS) and other OPC UA enabled applications allowing communication between CIP devices and OPC UA devices as well as with cloud and enterprise level services. Common tasks required for cloud gateway appliance management will be enabled, and CIP devices will have unimpeded access to leading cloud services. The OPC UA companion specification will address the challenge of moving industrial communication and control data from the factory floor to the cloud via gateways.

ODVA宣布已與OPC基金會成立了一個(gè)聯(lián)合工作組，以開發(fā)通用工業(yè)協(xié)議（CIP）的OPC UA配套規(guī)范。ODVA與OPC基金會之間的合作將確保作為CIP支持的工業(yè)控制系統(tǒng)（ICS）一部分的設(shè)備與其他支持OPC UA的應(yīng)用之間的安全通信，從而允許CIP設(shè)備與OPC UA設(shè)備之間以及與云之間的通信和企業(yè)級服務(wù)。啟用云網(wǎng)關(guān)設(shè)備管理所需的常見任務(wù)，并且CIP設(shè)備將不受阻礙地訪問領(lǐng)先的云服務(wù)。OPC UA配套規(guī)范將解決通過網(wǎng)關(guān)將工業(yè)通信和控制數(shù)據(jù)從工廠轉(zhuǎn)移到云端的挑戰(zhàn)。
 
The OPC UA companion specification will map CIP objects to the appropriate OPC UA information models and profiles and vice-versa. Sending data to and from the cloud from EtherNet/IP to OPC UA will be accomplished by providing information including discovery, identity, diagnostics, status, parameter and much more from CIP devices. Allowing critical automation information to be transferred from EtherNet/IP to OPC UA will lower the effort required to enable access from higher level systems, such as Analytics, ERP or MES. The OPC UA companion specification to CIP will ensure that data will be available to Enterprise and IT systems with proper context and semantics (i.e. meaning) for trend analysis and insight generation.

OPC UA配套規(guī)范將把CIP對象映射到適當(dāng)?shù)腛PC UA信息模型和配置文件，反之亦然。通過從CIP設(shè)備提供包括發(fā)現(xiàn)、身份、診斷、狀態(tài)、參數(shù)等信息，可以實(shí)現(xiàn)從EtherNet/IP到云之間以及從EtherNet/IP向OPC UA發(fā)送數(shù)據(jù)。允許將關(guān)鍵的自動化信息從EtherNet/IP傳輸?shù)絆PC UA，將降低從更高級系統(tǒng)(如分析、ERP或MES)進(jìn)行訪問所需的工作量。CIP的OPC UA配套規(guī)范將確保企業(yè)和信息技術(shù)系統(tǒng)能夠獲得數(shù)據(jù)，并為趨勢分析和洞察生成提供適當(dāng)?shù)纳舷挛暮驼Z義(即含義)。

A joint working group, composed of members of ODVA and the OPC Foundation, will work to identify critical device to cloud use cases, such as tying warranty costs back to production variations, that will drive the scope of the work to be done. In parallel work to the joint development of the OPC UA companion specification to CIP, CIP and EtherNet/IP will be enhanced by ODVA SIGs, as needed, to ensure that all of the pertinent data is able to be understood by OPC UA without any additional work needed by end users.

由ODVA和OPC基金會成員組成的聯(lián)合工作組將致力于確定關(guān)鍵設(shè)備到云的使用案例，例如將保修成本與生產(chǎn)變化掛鉤，這將推動工作范圍的擴(kuò)大。在聯(lián)合開發(fā)OPC UA配套規(guī)范到CIP的并行工作中，ODVA SIG將根據(jù)需要增強(qiáng)CIP和EtherNet/IP，以確保OPC UA能夠理解所有相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)，而無需終端用戶進(jìn)行任何額外的工作。

The coordination of ODVA and the OPC Foundation will work to ensure scalability and interoperability of key device information with critical meaning across the entire enterprise. Specifically, OPC UA servers will be able to map to and expose CIP objects and will have the services to allow establishing a connection and exchanging well-formed messages between OPC UA applications and EtherNet/IP. The end goal of the joint working group is to create an OPC UA companion specification that will map CIP objects to the needed information models and profiles.

ODVA和OPC基金會的協(xié)調(diào)將致力于確保關(guān)鍵設(shè)備信息的可擴(kuò)展性和互操作性，這些信息在整個(gè)企業(yè)中具有至關(guān)重要的意義。具體來說，OPC UA服務(wù)器將能夠映射并公開CIP對象，并將具有允許在OPC UA應(yīng)用程序和EtherNet/IP之間建立連接并交換格式正確的消息的服務(wù)。聯(lián)合工作組的最終目標(biāo)是創(chuàng)建一個(gè)OPC UA配套規(guī)范，該規(guī)范將CIP對象映射到所需的信息模型和配置文件。
