FP OPC Server
What is OPC?
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is the standard communication interface for data exchange between client applications (HMI/SCADA, control/command) and industrial devices (PLC, I/O blocks, drives, etc). OPC is built upon the proven Microsoft technologies OLE, COM and DCOM (Distributed COM). Its specifications are designed by the OPC Foundation to meet the general needs of industry. They are independent from the type of application, what means that access to the FP OPC server for any OPC client in its network is provided.
Features
The Panasonic OPC Server allows high-performance data transfer between applications supporting the universally accepted OPC DA Standard (v1-v3) and Panasonic FP Series PLCs.
- Navigator pane: shows the hierarchical structure of channel, device and tag group elements.
- Tag pane: shows the tag elements in a list structure. Multiple rows can be selected and changes applied to all selected elements.
- System log pane: displays information, warnings and error event messages.
- Server status pane: shows actual status information about the server application, e.g. server time, up time, connected clients and number of tags.
