A standardized object-oriented representation of industrial assets, data and relationships within an OPC UA server.
An OPC Information Model is a structured, object-oriented representation of industrial assets, devices, data, events and their relationships within an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) environment. It defines how information is organized, described and exposed so that clients can interpret data consistently across different vendors and applications.
OPC Information Models provide a standardized semantic representation of industrial information that enables consistent interoperability between systems.
OPC Information Models define standardized objects, variables, methods, events and relationships using the OPC UA Address Space, providing a common semantic framework for industrial interoperability.
An OPC Information Model defines how industrial information is structured and related, whereas an OPC Companion Specification defines standardized information models for a specific industry or application domain.
