Question:
What are the advantages of communicating via OPC client/server?
Solution:
Some advantages of communicating via OPC are:
- Drivers’ easy configuration: once the tag base is created in the OPC Server, you will only need to export it to the OPC Client driver (tags’ structure is set at the OPC Server).
- Elipse‘s programs are native OPC clients, therefore requiring no additional licenses to be used as such.
- OPC protocol is open: it is known by several vendors, and is supported by several types of devices.
