Plants, products, and systems are becoming increasingly networked. This has resulted in a major effort to set machine-to-machine (M2M) communication standards. In recent years, one such standard has already established itself on the market: OPC UA. This cross-vendor, open architecture is designed for information exchange in industrial communication. In addition to M2M communication, the technology supports data and information exchange between machines and higher-level systems in Industry 4.0 environments. Pepperl+Fuchs presents the world’s first IO-Link master with an OPC UA interface that combines the architecture’s benefits in one device.
Seamless Communication at Every Level
OPC UA, short for Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture, enables the platform-independent, interoperable, and cross-vendor collaboration of machines in production and makes communication between machines and systems possible—both in closed networks and via internet. OPC UA is more than just a communication protocol because the architecture also includes data models and interaction concepts. The interface is also scalable, which makes it suitable for both small- and large-scale infrastructures and supports use with mobile devices.
OPC UA is based on standards and guidelines that must be followed for compliant use of OPC UA communication. This way, the technology helps make processes in plants even more efficient while ensuring a seamless information exchange across all levels.
Your Solution for Cloud- and PLC-Based Systems
For the first time, Pepperl+Fuchs has incorporated OPC UA into IO-Link masters and is now introducing the ICE 2 (EtherNet/IP) and ICE3 (PROFINET) master series in addition to the ICE1 masters that are used for PLC-based systems and time-critical applications. Both new IO-Link master series come with an OPC UA interface and a real-time fieldbus protocol, making them an ideal solution for cloud-based applications that are less time-sensitive. With a completely web-based configuration concept that does not require additional software, they exemplify efficient commissioning and are an optimal solution for standalone applications with no superior PLC. All module settings can be saved as a separate file, so the configuration can be easily transferred to a new device (module cloning).
Simultaneous, interference-free communication via OPC UA and Ethernet-based fieldbus protocols also makes hybrid systems possible. In these cases, a PLC coordinates all time-sensitive applications and processes, while less time-sensitive, aggregated condition data is transferred to the cloud. Because of the MultiLink protocol, you can simultaneously access the device via the PLC and the cloud.
Highlights of the IO-Link Masters with OPC UA Interface
- Cross-vendor, platform-independent exchange of information (M2M communication)
- Flexible solution for both cloud-based and hybrid systems with a combination of PLC and cloud
- Completely web-based configuration concept for user-friendly commissioning
- Module cloning function enables easy device replacement and plant expansion

Rittal, the global leader for industrial enclosures, climate control, power management systems, and automation services, now offers a special adapter that retrofits comprehensive communications capabilities to ensure that you can integrate existing Blue e cooling units into condition monitoring and IoT systems.
Smart manufacturing is driven by the rise of technology; digital retrofit may be the most economical solution when a company’s equipment lacks adequate communication capabilities. When installed, the new adapter ensures the units can link up to smart condition monitoring and IoT systems.
Higher system availability
The new adapter can be used to set up condition monitoring for up to 10 cooling units in a master/slave arrangement. That means not only can data be recorded, but efficiency analyses can also be carried out on the cooling solution. A monitoring system that issues automatic notifications can also be set up to detect faults and limit breaches, thereby helping boost availability and prevent expensive machine downtime.
The new adapter is compatible with all NEMA 12, 3R/4, and 4X rated – both wall and roof-mounted – Blue e units that employ Rittal’s Comfort Controller. The NEMA 3R/4 or NEMA 4X classification, which are often used outdoors, are ideally suited for incorporation into IoT applications. Typical examples of outdoor applications for these units include renewable energy facilities such as solar and wind power plants. As these plants are usually located in isolated areas, it is essential that they incorporate remote monitoring.
Straightforward commissioning
Combining the IoT Interface with the IoT Adapter, Blue e cooling units may be integrated into higher-level systems. Rittal developed the new IoT Adapter because the older Blue e units cannot communicate directly with the IoT interface. The whole system can be configured and commissioned via the web server integrated into the IoT interface – quickly, conveniently and without the need for any programming.
“Our new Blue e adapter is the ‘easy way’ to get cooling units IoT-ready in industrial applications,” said Mike Freund, managing director for the U.S. at Rittal. “For a company to truly implement smart manufacturing, its machinery and equipment must be able to communicate over a network, our new special adapter retrofits existing cooling units to offer comprehensive communication capabilities.”
