OPC Connectivity Suite

Product Overview

The OPC Connectivity Suite allows system and application engineers to manage their OPC Data Access (DA) and OPC Unified Architecture (UA) servers from a single application. Reducing the number of OPC Servers the OPC client is communicating with ensures your OPC client application is running as intended. Now you can easily manage loss of communications with other third-party OPC servers that have not met the rigorous quality standards set forth by the OPC Foundation. The OPC Connectivity Suite allows you to buffer the communications between non-OPC certified and feature-lacking applications and your OPC client.
