OPA-S™ (Open Process Automation Standard) Model Version 1.0
O-PAS™ (Open Process Automation Standard) model will open new opportunities for owners and operators to take better real-time control of their operations and business performance.
The O-PAS Standard, once fully defined, will allow for construction of safe, reliable, secure process automation systems that are scalable from very small to very large, which do not require system shutdown to perform updates and extensions, and which can be applied to existing systems and to new construction.
