Moxa宣布支持OPC UA现场层通讯项目

Moxa is joining forces with other major industrial communications and networking suppliers in supporting the Open Platform Communications Foundation's United Architecture Field Level Communications (OPC UA FLC) initiative, specifically as a member of the FLC Steering Committee where it will lend its expertise to the development of a unified infrastructure for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies.

Moxa正在与其他主要工业通信和网络供应商合作，支持开放平台通信基金会的联合架构现场层通信（OPC UA FLC）计划，特别是作为FLC指导委员会的成员，将为时间敏感网络（TSN）技术统一基础架构的开发提供专业知识。

With the OPC UA FLC initiative, the OPC Foundation aims to build an open, standards-based communication solution for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by extending the OPC UA machine-to-machine communication protocol from sensors in the field to IT systems or the cloud. Adopting one unified network infrastructure will provide vendors with independent end-to-end interoperability of their field level devices, such as sensors, actuators, controllers and cloud addresses, and enabling bilateral IIoT data communications between the factory floor and the cloud. With TSN as its foundation, the OPC UA FLC initiative meets emerging IIoT requirements for deterministic networking and real time communications over high-bandmax-width: 100%; width, low-latency networks.

OPC基金会希望通过通过OPC UA FLC计划，将OPC UA机器到机器通信协议从现场传感器扩展到IT系统或云端，从而为工业物联网（IIoT）构建开放的、基于标准的通信解决方案。采用统一的网络基础设施将为供应商提供其现场层设备的独立端到端互操作性，例如传感器、执行器、控制器和云地址，以及在工厂车间和云之间实现双边IIoT数据通信。以TSN为基础，OPC UA FLC计划通过高带宽、低延迟网络满足蓬勃发展的IIoT对确定性网络和实时通信的要求。

Companies on the FLC Steering Committee include ABB, Beckhoff, Bosch Rexroth, B&R Industrial Automation, Cisco, Hilscher, Hirschmann, Huawei, Intel, Kalycito, KUKA, Mitsubishi Electric, Molex, Omron, Phoenix Contact, Pilz, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, Siemens, TTTech, Wago, and Yokogawa. The FLC initiative has also gained support from the TSN testbeds of the Edge Computing Consortium (ECC), the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), and Labs Network Industry 4.0 (LNI 4.0) with regard to the FLC activities to adopt "One TSN".

FLC指导委员会成员包括ABB、倍福、博世力士乐、贝加莱工业自动化、思科、赫优讯、赫斯曼、华为、英特尔、Kalycito、KUKA、三菱电机、Molex、欧姆龙、菲尼克斯电气、皮尔磁、罗克韦尔自动化、施耐德电气、西门子、TTTech、万可，以及横河电机。对于FLC计划的“统一TSN网络”，OPC UA FLC项目同时也获得了边缘计算产业联盟 (ECC)、工业互联网联盟 (IIC) 和工业4.0实验室网络(LNI4.0)TSN测试床的支持。

Moxa has participated in all these testbeds to showcase the interoperability of its TSN switches with the devices of other vendors in one standard Ethernet-based network infrastructure. This interoperability will be instrumental in the future of industrial automation by opening up new possibilities brought on by the IIoT and Industry 4.0.

Moxa参与了上述所有测试床项目，测试Moxa TSN交换机与其他供应商设备在同一标准以太网网络基础设施中的互操作性。这种互操作性对构建工业自动化的未来、挖掘 IIoT 和工业 4.0潜能而言至关重要。
