OPC Server Tags

FuelsManager’s OPC server exposes all database points created in the

FuelsManager real time database to OPC clients. The exact structure of the OPC

tags will depend on the database structure defined for your project. Also, the

method for browsing and selecting the tags will depend on the OPC client

software being used. The dialog below shows the OPC tag structure as seen via

the industry standard Matrikon OPC explorer client.
