OPC Server
Iotellect OPC server is a standalone Windows application that exposes a certain set of unified data model's context variables in form of OPC tags making them available for third-party OPC clients.
OPC Server supports the most common OPC specification - OPC Data Access (OPC DA), which is used to read and write real-time data. The data source can be any device that supports the Iotellect protocol.
OPC Server can be downloaded from the Iotellect, FZCO website.
OPC server has built-in Iotellect network protocol and can interact with any devices by Agent protocol as well as it can connect to Iotellect Server. The Agent protocol open-source implementation is published for Java, C#, and C++ programming languages, so your connection scheme is not limited to Iotellect devices or Iotellect Server only. Data update occurs when changes come from the data source asynchronously.
 | The simplest example: TPS reads temperature meter, sends data to OPC server by Agent protocol:  A more complex example: you have a Windows-based PC that controls a wood processing machine with the help of Iotellect Server by the Modbus protocol. If OPC server is connected with Iotellect Server, the data from the machine is transmitted to OPC server and, as a result, you can monitor and operate the machine via any OPC client (e.g. Matrikon Client).  |
