Omron OPC servers enable devices and systems from Omron to communicate with other devices and systems that employ the OPC or OPC UA protocols.
How does it work?
An OPC Server functions as a bridge between various systems and devices, interpreting their respective protocols so they can communicate with one another.
An Omron PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) may utilize a proprietary protocol to connect with other Omron devices, but an OPC Server enables it to interface with devices from other manufacturers that employ alternative protocols.
The OPC UA Server provides additional capability to the basic OPC Server, including enhanced security features and remote device access and control.
This enables more efficient and secure device-to-device and system-to-system communication, as well as enhanced remote monitoring and control capabilities.
What issues does it solve?
The requirement to connect and communicate with a large array of devices and systems, each with its own unique protocols, is one of the greatest obstacles in industrial automation.
An OPC Server solves this issue by acting as a translator, enabling various devices and systems to communicate regardless of their respective protocols.
The OPC UA Server goes above and beyond by addressing issues such as remote access and security.
This enables more efficient and secure device-to-device communication, as well as enhanced remote monitoring and control capabilities.
Additionally, the OPC UA Server permits the incorporation of new technologies, such as IoT and cloud computing, into existing industrial automation systems.
Omron OPC Server and Omron OPC UA Server are software applications that allow Omron devices and systems to communicate with other devices and systems employing the OPC or OPC UA protocols.
OPC and OPC UA Server boost security and remote capabilities by bridging the gap between various devices and protocols.
Use Cases
Omron OPC Server and Omron OPC UA Server are both employed in industrial automation applications to facilitate the communication and control of a variety of devices and systems.
Among specific use cases are:
An OPC Server can be used to connect Omron PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, enabling real-time monitoring and centralized control of the PLCs.
An OPC Server can be used to connect Omron devices, such as sensors and actuators, to other systems and devices that employ various protocols. This facilitates the smooth integration of Omron devices with current automation systems.
Remote monitoring and control: An OPC UA Server enables remote monitoring and control of Omron devices and systems, enabling access and control from any Internet-connected location.
OPC UA Server enables the integration of new technologies, such as IoT and cloud computing, into existing industrial automation systems, offering real-time monitoring, data analysis, and other capabilities.
