The OPC server has an interface according to the new industrial standard OLE for Process Control. Through this standard interface the server provides the I/O data to OPC-Clients, enabling them to contact external equipment without complex programming.
This extension module of IrControl provides the user with a complete server having functionality according to the specifications OPC DA V1 and V2 (POC-DataAccess). Due to this real-time values can be transmitted to process-visualisation systems very easily. With IrControl, the monitoring of automated processes - including complex ones - can be managed with speed and reliability. Several OPC clients can access and show the data at the same time. Because in most cases, a complete network infrastructure is already available, no extra costs for new cabling are necessary. Even discontinued I/O points can be integrated into process visualization via the intranet.
