OPC specification

OPC is designed to deliver open connectivity via open standards in industrial automation and the enterprise systems, and is based on a series of standards specifications. Originally based on Microsoft's OLE COM (component object model) and DCOM (distributed component object model) technologies, the specification defined a standard set of objects, interfaces and methods for use in process control and manufacturing automation applications to facilitate interoperability. OPC is supported by the OPC Foundation.
