Possible applications:

The OPC Optimizer allows multiple OPC clients to access an OPC server in a way that minimizes the workload on the server. According to the definition and functionality of Data Access, every OPC client communicating with the DA server creates groups and items on the DA server. The simultaneous management of numerous groups and the processing of multiple read requests to often identical OPC items leads to a high communication load on the OPC server.

The OPC Optimizer optimizes read and write access to the items of an OPC server. Read access to identical OPC items with different update rates are combined, and data acquisition from the peripherals by the OPC server is bundled using intelligent algorithms.

The configuration settings offer additional possibilities for optimization. Users can specify, for example

• that the OPC server should only re-read data of a certain age from the device; and that the update cycles are determined independently of the OPC clients.
