The Anybus OPC Server enables any PC-based OPC DA client application to access data of distributed field devices located in a fieldbus network without the need for a PCI fieldbus interface card. The connection between the PC in the control room and the field devices in the plant is established via existing Ethernet networks and the Anybus X-gateway.
Eliminate PCI fieldbus cards
The new “OPC Connectivity” feature is available for most Ethernet versions of the X-gateway family. Typical applications include OPC-based SCADA systems with remote visualization and control. The Anybus OPC server supports OPC Data Access (DA) v1.0, 2.05, 3.0. Key features include access to process data, an OPC tag editor and an online viewer/editor with read / write access to tag data.
From the PC side the flow of data runs from the Application OPC client, through the Anybus OPC server, through the HMS Ethernet transport provider and out through the PC Ethernet card. From there its converted by the Anybus-X and the data is then sent out on the Fieldbus Network.
