OPC .NET Service for KEPServerEX | |
OPC .NET Service is a simple Microsoft .NET client interface for automation systems. The OPC .NET Service technology has been added to the OPC Foundation's technology portfolio complementing OPC Unified Architecture (UA) and COM-based OPC Classic technologies.
OPC .NET Service provides a .NET-based migration path from OPC Classic. Additionally, OPC .NET Service may be used as a standard .NET WCF interface for newly developed OPC servers.
OPC .NET Service Features
- Security - secure communications including access through firewalls
- Simplicity - make servers and clients easy to implement, configure and deploy
- Robustness - reliable communications with error recovery
- Plug-and-Play - automatic discovery of servers and their communications capabilities
- Backward compatibility - accessing OPC DA, AE and HDA servers using a single .NET interface
- Protocol transparency - efficient client/server communications when both the client and server are on the same platform or within the same LAN and when the client is located on external networks including the Internet
The OPC .NET Service Wrapper wraps the server's OPC Data Access (DA) and OPC Alarms and Events (AE) interfaces. It runs as a manual service, which starts and stops with the primary server. As such, OPC .NET clients cannot launch the server like Classic OPC clients.
