Odva

Through its approximately 404 members, the company has promoted the adoption of a viable industrial automation communications network standard based on the cip protocol, and its derivatives "devicenet", "controlnet", "componet and "ethernet/ip". This has allowed different manufacturers to use standard devices within a system thereby reducing costs and improving performance. This has been accomplished through the establishment of a standard for compatability testing and compliance. The company also publishes a directory of member products on its website to facilitate and identify members that manufacture the products.
