About OPC Servers

OPC is an open standard that permits a consistent method of accessing field data from plant floor devices. Interoperability is assured through the creation and maintenance of open standards specifications. Data Access is one of these standards. To learn more about OPC and the Data Access standard, please visit the OPC Foundation website at http://opcfoundation.org/.

NEW! SMP OPC Server: Reduce the number of installed OPC Servers

With Cybectec's SMP OPC Server and the SMP Gateway, you only need to install one OPC server on the server side. Since the SMP Gateway can handle the vast majority of proprietary and standard protocols in the industrial field, it takes charge of all the protocol conversion and data concentration. The OPC Server simply acts as a data relay to other OPC-compatible applications. More >>>
