OPC TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION equipment manufacturers. The software is applied in the Distributed Control System (DCS), so as to realize the data A. COM Technology exchange between the management configuration software and OPC technology is mainly based on Microsoft's COM the control device, which enhance the compatibility and technology. COM is a component tool that widely used, interoperability of the system. provides a wealth of integrated services for software designing [5]. COM uses binary canonical form, and can Keywords—OPC Technology, COM, Interface establish components to communicate with each other. As I. PREFACE long as in accordance with the norms of COM, any software functions will be implemented very well with high-level For a long time, many different hardware manufacturers program language. DCOM is COM’s seamless expansion in usually use different communication mechanism, which easily the distributed computing, realizes the transparency of the leads to "information island" phenomenon. In order to integrate network. the data of different equipments in a system, software developers have to invest considerable time and effort to B. OPC Technical Specifications construct the underlying software, and delay the development There are three kinds of OPC specification: (1) OPC Data cycle. To this end, the industrial control field needs an open Access specification; (2) OPC Alarm and Event norms; (3) standard to conduct a data access mechanism and management OPC Historical Data Access specification. The OPC Data that enable communication between various types of Access Specification is mainly applied in this paper. equipment more flexible [1]. The OPC Data Access Specification is based on the logic In 1990s, some of the world's leading suppliers of of the object model of OPC, the model includes three types: hardware or software develop a set of OPC specifications with OPC server object, OPC group object and OPC item object. Microsoft. OPC is an industry standard, which is based on OPC server object: It is at the most top-level of the logic Microsoft's OLE (now ActiveX), COM and DCOM model, and maintains information on the server and acts as a technology, includes a set of interfaces, properties and container of OPC group object, each OPC server object can methods for the process control and manufacturing contain many group objects. automation systems [2]. OPC group object: It provides the mechanism that In August 1996, the version of OPC 1.0 specification contains and manages many item objects. A group object can published by the OPC Task Force was passed. In 1998, OPC provide a way to allow customers to "subscribe" list, so Foundation organizations launched OPC 2.0 version [3], and customers can be notified when changes are happened in the amended some errors in the last version, added a few interface project. and adjusted the means of data communication, making OPC item object: it represent a connection which connects programs to run more stable and reliable. with data source, including the value, quality, timestamp, the OPC technology is to bring the advantages of separating 3 basic attributes. All the OPC item operation is controlled by software development and hardware development completely, the OPC group object that contains related items. leaves access interface task to the hardware manufacturer or third-party manufacturers, and offers OPC server for users. III. OPC SERVER INTERFACE DESIGN OF THE SOFTWARE OPC technology will be widely applied to control filed [4]. A.

  • OPC DX Link Option for Kepserverex
    OPC DX Link Option for KEPServerEX Overview: OPC technology has been extremely successful at bridging the vertical communication gap between the plant floor and the control room. Using standards such as OPC Data Access (DA), hundreds of software applications have been written to gather data from a wide range of control systems using this simple Client/Server architecture. OPC DA did not, however, address the needs of integration and interoperability directly between devices. Historically there have been a number of high-level and low-level bus protocols, each one written to address the differing needs and uses of the devices they were intended to serve. Protocols such as PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and many more, have been utilized in the past. Recently there has been a growing movement towards the use of Ethernet as an industrial communication backbone. Initially each of these respective bus specifications was redeveloped for use over Ethernet. The resulting PROFInet, Ethernet/IP, High-Speed Ethernet Fieldbus (HSE), and BACNET/IP provided a means for customers to move smoothly from their proprietary wiring schemes to Ethernet. However it didn't address the key issue of true Device-to-Device interoperability or more importantly Bus-to-Bus interoperability. While these new Ethernet based protocols could coexist on the same wire, there was still no way to get data from a PROFInet device directly into an Ethernet/IP device. Example using DX to route data between OPC Items in KEPServerEX Example of using DX to pull data from an OPC DA server and eXchange data (bi-directional) with an OPC DX server OPC DX: OPC Data Exchange (DX) was designed to address the needs of Device-to-Device and Bus-to-Bus interoperability by applying the same technologies currently used by desktop applications at the device level.

  • Investigate M2M-Related Communication Standards That Exist on the Global Market Today
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Agder University Research Archive Investigate M2M-related communication standards that exist on the global market today by Aleksander Albretsen Thesis in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master in Technology in Information and Communication Technology Agder University College Faculty of Engineering and Science Grimstad Norway June 2006 Abstract Most M2M applications use well-known communication technologies to interconnect the devices. Even though they use well-known communication technologies there are no widely used and well-defined M2M standards regarding the data exchange (application layer). This thesis investigates and identifies M2M related communication standards that exist on the global market today, and are applicable for M2M standardisation. This thesis is limited to the following segments within M2M: Security, Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Utility Control. Today, and in the future, IP will play an important role within M2M. This thesis is therefore mainly focusing on standards that implement how to transfer the application layer using the IP-stack. M2M is defined in this thesis as an application with a central server communicating with end-devices through a gateway, using remote communication from server to gateway. The following standards are investigated and found applicable in one or more of the selected segments: CIP, MODBUS, LonWorks, KNX, DLMS/COSEM, M-BUS, SIA, M2MXML, OPC and ZigBee. Each of the standards is explained within the thesis. All standards are identified and categorised, and area of applications and proposed solutions are described. This thesis discusses the applicability regarding each segment, multiple services behind one gateway, bandwidth consumption, software update and interconnection of networks.

It begins by describing the problem these interfaces are designed to solve, the functionality they provide and the object model they employ. Following this is a review of the specific interfaces provided, including a brief discussion of the specific methods exposed by those interfaces. A REVIEW OF THE PROBLEM This paper contains a fairly detailed technical overview of the OPC (OLE for Process Control) Data Access Interface. It assumes that the reader has some technical background in COM (Component Object Model) and object oriented programming. This paper will also talk about where OPC Data Access fits in the architecture of a control system and about the objects and methods that the OPC Interface presents to the programmer. In addition to talking about WHAT the objects look like, this paper will also talk a bit about WHY they look the way they do. Which is to say it will try to answer the question, “What were those guys thinking when they designed this stuff…”. This paper talks primarily about the Custom (C++) interface as that is what server vendors and most serious client vendors need to understand and implement.
