OPC Systems.NET Applications Connection

All OPC Systems.NET components and the Service implement .NET Remoting for communications, thus simplifying network connections.  You could easily implement a OPC Systems Service on a web server and through the Internet remotely configure and run Smart Client applications.  All you need is a fixed IP address, network node name, or registered domain name on the Internet.

Each OPC Systems Service contains the license to provide support for local and remote components.

Each OPC Client.NET license enables unlimited local and remote OPC Client connections to the licensed OPC Systems Service.

The Configure OPC Systems.NET application can configure local and remote OPC Systems Services for Tags, Data Logging, Alarm Logging, and Options.  The Configure OPC Systems.NET application also is used to enable licensing for the local OPC Systems Service.

The OPC Systems HMI is a .NET container for OPC Trend.NET and OPC Alarm.NET.

Each OPC Controls.NET, OPC Mobile.NET, OPC Web Controls.NET, OPC Trend.NET, OPC Web Trend.NET, OPC Alarm.NET, and OPC Web Alarm.NET component can connect to local and remote OPC Systems Services.

The OPC Systems Service can log Data and Alarms from both local and remote OPC Systems Services.  Using OPC Recipe.NET data can be read from databases and transferred to local and remote OPC Systems.NET Tags which in turn can be assigned to OPC Items.

The OPC Web Controls.NET, OPC Web Trend.NET, and OPC Web Alarm.NET components can connect to any local or remote OPC Systems Service and support unlimited remote browser connections.

The OPC Systems Service can connect to local and remote OPC Servers, but by taking advantage of the OPC Systems.NET Remoting communications it is recommended to connect OPC Servers locally and use the features within OPC Systems.NET to provide the communications.  This way there will be no data lost if a network connection is interrupted for up to 10,000 records for Data Logging and Alarm Logging.

The OPC Route.NET feature can write real-time data from local and remote Tags or Calculations to local and remote OPC Servers.  This product is best implemented by installing the OPC Systems Service at each local OPC Server.  This takes advantage of the product design of using .NET Remoting to transfer real-time data, thus eliminating the troublesome process of DCOM configuration.

Use the Calculation data source to combine multiple local and remote tags into composite results of real-time equations.
