Meeting: Replace babble of Control Components with understandable language, OPC help
February 27, 2008
One of the goals of the Make2Pack ISA88 Part 5 effort is to provide a way for Control Components used in any environment to have a common “language” to the outside world and at the same time allowing control components to use their own “language” internally.
At some point I believe that the babble of internal proprietary communications between control components will be replaced by a universal method of communication. Until then a way to translate to the world outside the language of the proprietary environment is necessary and one of the items to be delivered by the Make2Pack effort.
To help in this effort Thomas Burke of the OPC Foundation has agreed to work with the Make2Pack Group and attend the April 15-17 meeting at the Dayton International Airport Hotel and open discussions on how to expand this effort to remove “Babble” for the control environment.
Interested? Contact me, Dave Chappell, know if you’d like more information. Tomorrow, I'll go over a little of what we discussed in last week's conference call.
