Overview
System integration with OPC server
OPC (
O
penness,
P
roductivity &
C
ollaboration) is a standard-
ized, open, and vendor-independent interface that is widely
used in automation.
A fundamental distinction is made between the classic OPC and
its consistent further development OPC UA (
U
nified
A
rchitec-
ture). Smooth migration to the new OPC UA standard is easily
possible; this offers further value added, such as security.
The SIMATIC NET OPC servers offer the two interfaces OPC UA
and classic OPC for SIMATIC S7 and PROFINET.
•
The corresponding OPC servers are included in the scope of
supply of the respective communication software
•
Standardized, open, multi-vendor interface
•
It permits interfacing of OPC-capable Windows applications
to S7 communication, open communication (SEND/RECEIVE),
PROFINET, and SNMP
•
Increased availability thanks to additional option packages
such as OPC server redundancy
•
OPC Scout with browser functionality as an OPC client and
OCX Data Control/.NET Data Control for simple OPC client
creation
■
Benefits
