The OPC Bridge quickly and easily turns your DCOM OPC
product into an OPC XML-DA product without requiring any programming.
Whether you want to connect your standard OPC client to an XML-DA server
on a Linux platform or over the Internet, or whether you want to access
your DCOM OPC server with an XML-DA client - the OPC Bridge makes the
connection without any loss of performance!
- OPC communication over the Internet and across
firewall boundaries
- OPC bridge between Windows and non-Windows
operating systems such as Linux
- No programming required
Functions
- OPC gateway between any kind of Data Access or
XML-DA implementations
- Bridges differences in Data Access
implementations version 1, 2 or 3
- Turns OPC servers, e.g. according to Data Access
1.0, into OPC-compliant servers
- Connects DCOM with Web Service platforms
- Supports OPC DA 1.0a, 2.0, 3.0, XML-DA 1.0
- Can run as an application or as a Windows service
- Comes with its own Web server diagnostic
interface
- Includes OPC Optimizer for optimizing the
simultaneous access of multiple OPC clients to one OPC server
System requirements
- Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
Included in package
- CD-ROM
- Printed 〝Getting Started〞 manual
- Online help in German and English
Downloads (free demo software, drivers etc.)
Possible applications:
From the point of view of OPC client applications, access to the configured
OPC server through the OPC Bridge is fully transparent, which means that the
OPC Bridge provides the namespace of the configured OPC server to a client
without any changes.
Bridge between Data Access implementations
There are only minor differences between the DA 1.0, DA
2.05 and DA 3 versions. Nevertheless, the more recent versions contain
extensions that are not supported by previous implementations. As no
compliance test tool exists for the DA 1.0 specification, no compliance
verification can be provided for DA 1.0 servers. The OPC Bridge turns a
non-compliant OPC server into a compliant OPC server!
OPC clients that have control functionality but no OPC
server interface (e.g. LabView) can actively transfer data to other OPC
clients.
Bridge between DA and XML-DA Implementations, between
DCOM and Web Services, between Windows and Linux
Substantial differences exist between the DCOM-based
Data Access specifications and the Web Services- and XML-based XML-DA
specification.
XML-DA servers can run on all operating systems that
support Web Services. The XML-DA client and server can communicate over the
Internet across firewall boundaries. The OPC Bridge connects the DCOM world
with the Web Services world. The OPC Bridge always needs to be installed on
a PC supporting DCOM. |
