WinCC flexible/OPC-Server
Non-proprietary communication

• Incorporation of automation components from different vendors into an automation concept
• Saving of development costs through communication between automation systems based on a homogeneous, uniform protocol
• The sensitive field level is not loaded by the control level as far as the communications requirements are concerned. 

 

From PC platforms, you can make available current process data in this way via OPC DA (Data Access) or, in the case of multifunctional platforms via OPC-XML, to several OPC clients.

This means that locally acquired data is available on a plant-wide basis to provide important information at a central location or to make possible (central) archiving of process data. Among other things, linking to MES, ERP or Office applications is possible.You can choose the relevant tags on the OPC client across the entire network using the OPC Browser from the OPC server‘s Tag Management.

PCs with WinCC flexible Runtime can also be OPC DA clients and acquire data from other OPC servers. The OPC client is delivered as standard with WinCC flexible Runtime.
