OPC SERVER
The Hardy OPC server is an optional communication net-
work software package that is a configurable I/O server
designed to transfer data between your data collection and
display software and the Hardy HI 3000 modules. (See Fig.
233) To purchase the OPC server option, contact your local
Hardy Representative or Hardy Instruments Customer Ser-
vice.
Installation instructions are provided with the OPC Server
software. Refer to the OPC I/O Server Quick Start Manual to
install and configure the I/O server. Remember the OPC
Server is just that, a Server. Nothing will happen unless a cli-
ent asks for information. Some client application must be
present and asking for information. (See Fig. 184)
