Do you want to exchange data between two OPC
clients?
Do you want to test you OPC client and need an OPC
server simulator?
OPC Storage emulates any kind of OPC server and offers
the following advantages:
-
It connects control systems, SCADA systems or
applications that do not have an OPC server interface
-
It enables you to simulate any OPC server -
without hardware or process peripherals
-
It is suited for the systematic testing of any
OPC clients
-
No programming required
Functions
-
OPC Client / OPC Client Gateway
-
Intelligent data storage which can receive
configurable OPC items from an OPC client and pass them on to another OPC
client
-
"Clones" any type of OPC server for simulation or
test purposes
-
Configurable Class ID and namespace
-
Allows quality and time stamp of items to be
written
-
Downtime monitoring through Heartbeat and
Watchdog
-
Static and dynamic namespace
-
Supports OPC DA 1.0a, 2.0, 3.0, XML-DA 1.0
-
Can run as an application or as a Windows service
-

Possible applications:
The OPC Storage configuration defines OPC items that transfer data between
OPC clients.
OPC Storage as gateway between OPC client
applications
OPC Storage can be started from any OPC client
application. It is available to any OPC client application if it was started
as a Windows service. The first time an OPC client application accesses OPC
Storage, the default namespace of the OPC Storage is provided, for example,
Node1 with Tag1 and Tag2, Node2 with Tag1 and Tag2.
The OPC namespace of OPC Storage can be statically
defined in the OCT configuration file or extended dynamically by the OPC
clients by creating items. The items of the namespace may be of any data
type covered by the OPC specifications. These data types also support fixed-
and variable-length arrays.
The StorageWatchdog system item allows communication
between OPC Storage and the OPC client(s) to be monitored.
OPC clients that have control functionality but no OPC
server interface (e.g. LabView) can actively transfer data to other OPC
clients.
OPC Storage as OPC server simulation for testing OPC
client applications
OPC Storage can be used as a server simulator for
testing OPC clients. The name, Class ID, Prog ID and namespace of the server
simulator (OPC Storage) can be configured. Read and write test sequences are
controlled by any OPC client.
OPC Storage allows the quality and time stamp of items
to be written. This enables users to simulate real-world conditions for
testing OPC clients without devices, provoke error states, conduct load
tests, etc
Downtime is monitored with a Heartbeat and Watchdog OPC
item. If the client that assumes the role of the server no longer updates
the data, the client that is to be tested is notified accordingly. |
