Controller OPC Server
The TAC OPC Server allows third party OPC-based client applications to access data in the Continuum and Infinity controllers through an Ethernet network.
OPC, an industry-standard protocol, provides seamless open communciations between different manufacturers’ devices and databases. It eliminates the need for custom driver development and resulting driver conflicts between devices and offers a comprehensive view of both environmental and process data on a “single” client workstation.
From an OPC-compatible client application it is possible to:
• View points from Continuum field controllers
• Poll data for history collection and trending
• Change parameters
• Adjust setpoints
• Control outputs
The TAC OPC Server is compatible with many third party OPC client applications, including Wonderware™, Matrikon™, Intellution™, Osi™, etc.
