Setting Up OPC Communication with a Client

About OPC Clients

There are several versions of OPC Clients on the market
today. We can’t possibly provide instructions for every client
however the setup is pretty much the same. We have selected

Wonderware

for our tutorial. Wonderware

is the most

popular Factory Suite software currently on the market. If
you are looking for another OPC Client, we recommend
going to the OPC Foundation Web Site and checking their
list of certified products. In addition, on the OPC Foundation
Site there is ample information about the OPC protocol to
answer any questions you may have that are beyond the
scope of this manual.

NOTE:

Wonderware

is a registered trademark of the

Naiveness Corporation.

Step 1. If you haven’t installed Wonderware InTouch,

install it now.

NOTE:

Windows

2000, Service Pak 3 or Windows

Service Pak 1 are required. Windows

is a regis-

tered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation.

Step 2. Start the OPC Server (Omniserver™) from your PC

desktop. The OPC Server must be running when
configuring Wonderware.
