The virtual factory of müller+krahmer – networking made easy with OPC UA
Most examples in the virtual factory of müller+krahmer show our know-how in creating interfaces for devices that are not IIoT-capable by design. So of course it is easy for us to integrate sensors into our demonstrator that come with suitable interfaces as standard. One such device is the AF2 AirFlow sensor from Aventics with an OPC UA interface. It monitors the air flow of the fan that ensures even ventilation of our basement day and night. A Python script retrieves the data and makes it available to the web visualization – done. So sometimes networking can be very simple…
