ioLogik E1200 Series Active OPC Server
Features of Active OPC Server
One Simple Click Creates Active Tags
Moxa’s RTUs, remote I/O devices, and Active OPC Servers support automatic tag generation, which eliminates
the headache of specifying individual target IP addresses, I/O channels, and data formats, while even
eliminating any need for editing and importing configuration files. Working from either of Moxa’s ioAdmin or
ioSearch™ utilities, users only need to select specific I/O channels, set the update criteria, and then click a
single button for their active tags to be automatically generated and configured.
Faster, More Accurate Data Collection than Traditional “Pull
Technology”
Moxa has pioneered the concept of “active type” OPC software in the automation industry. The patented Active
OPC Server offers non-polling architecture alongside the standard OPC protocol, giving users the alternative of
active, push-based communication from Moxa’s RTUs and remote I/O devices. This adaptation of push
technology means that I/O status will be updated at the Active OPC Server only when there is an I/O status
change, a pre-configured interval is reached, or when a request is issued by a user. This application of push
technology cuts metadata overhead, resulting in faster I/O response times and more accurate data collection
than traditional pull-based architectures. With Moxa’s “active technology” advantage, users can now instantly
receive alarms and real time updates allowing for timely risk response.
