OPC-Schnittstellen in einer offenen Systemumgebung - Praxis und Erfahrungen
Abstract
The paper represents any results of a research about usability of OPC interfaces within an open system environment. The hardware and software platform for this works is a plant model using a lean communication structure which is being built up since 1999 at the process control lab of the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf. The results of this works show that OPC interfaces provide quick installation procedures and safe operation. Currently available OPC interfaces are suitable to meet the timing requirements for a process data communication between visualization/supervisory systems on one side and fieldbus/control systems on the other. However, the application of an OPC interface requires a sufficient knowledge and experiences in PC and Windows technology.
