OPC server options
OPC (OLE Process Control) is a technology for exchanging and using shared data between a
range of applications. OPC has a variety of substandards that have been independently
implemented for specific usage cases. OPC can thus be used for realtime monitoring, data
archiving, alarming and for the latest application, controlling (instruction transmission).
Industry PCs can use the OPC functionality of the SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor to transmit
monitoring data to SIMATIC applications. Each SIMATIC station can be viewed as an OPC DA
client. OPC client functionality enables you to transfer data from SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor to
a different OPC application, for example:
•
SIMATIC WinAC
•
SIMATIC WinCC/WinCC flexible
•
SIMATIC NET
The data can be visualized for the specific application using these programs.
An OPC server is required to integrate the SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor data into a SIMATIC
application. The OPC server can be located on the same computer as the monitoring station
or on a dedicated computer.
