What is OPC www opcfoundation org http www opcfoundation org OPC is based on a series of approved standards and technologies of the consumer computer world It was originally based on OLE COM Component Object Model and DCOM Distributed Component Object Model which provide the framework Microsoft even added OPC standard to the OLE specification OPC interface applications are built once and used several Overview OPC Foundation COM times thus are approved and under constant quality control With OPC data can be exchanged efficiently using a standardized interface hence vendors do not have to implement their own communication drivers Therefore it allows vendors to reduce implementation costs and save time thus reducing the project cycle time The OPC Foundation defines itself as being dedicated to ensuring interoperability in automation by creating and maintaining open specifications that standardize the communication of acquired process data alarm and event records historical data and batch data to multi vendor enterprise systems and between production devices Production devices include sensors instruments PLCs RTUs DCSs HMIs historians trending subsystems alarm subsystems and more as used in the process industry manufacturing and in acquiring and transporting oil gas and minerals OPC Foundation What is the OPC Foundation www opcfoundation org http www opcfoundation org The OPC F
