4.13 OPC
● OPC (Openness, Productivity, Collaboration) is a standardized software interface which
supports exchanging data between applications from different manufacturers.
● The SOPAS OPC server uses DCOM technology (Distributed Component Object Model)
for communication between applications.
This allows the SOPAS OPC server to exchange data with a local process or also with a
remote computer connected via Ethernet (TCP/IP).
● The OPC server collects the data from the GM32 and makes the data available as an
OPC object.
● The OPC client accesses the data made available by the OPC server and then processes
the data.
