OPC Server

Overview

CAEN, in close collaboration with CERN, has developed an OPC server which allows powerful, flexible and yet simple control of its power supply systems by any OPC compliant client application. OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an open interface based on the OLE/COM and DCOM technology; OPC offers “Plug & Play” connectivity between disparate hardware devices. The introduction of the OPC interface has caused the number of driver developments which hardware manufacturers implement for their components to be reduced to only one: the OPC server. On the other hand, OPC client applications (from any vendor) can communicate with the OPC server to exchange data in a standard way. Each device property is accessed via an OPC item.
