opcSERVER - The Tool for You to Provide Process Data of Automation Systems via Standard Interface "OPC"!
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an industry standard defining a common communication interface in automation. OPC is based on OLE/COM/DCOM technology of Microsoft, Inc. The standard is widely accepted and allows HMI software and automation systems of different vendors to be connected and exchange data.
An OPC server is the link between these components, providing the data of automation systems to HMI systems or other OPC clients. For instance, an OPC server retrieves data from one or several automation systems and provides this data to OPC clients, i.e. visualization systems.
opcSERVER by logi.cals allows a fast and comfortable access to runtime data exposing OPC DA (Data Access) 1.x and 2.x interfaces to OPC clients (the "PublicGroups"-feature is not available). Any PLC runtime system, such as logi.RTS by logi.cals, can supply this runtime data.
