OPC is a widely used industrial communication protocol that allows data to be exchanged freely between devices and control software from different vendors. PLCs on the factory floor, RTUs in the field, HMI stations, and software applications on desktop PCs can all transmit data using an OPC server. OPC server is a program that translates the hardware communication protocol used by a PLC into the OPC protocol. The OPC client software is a program that connects to the hardware, such as an HMI. OPC server has resulted in better collaboration between technology providers and end users. OPC server has aided automation companies in developing completely open solutions, giving consumers additional options in their automation applications. In the industry, this is an exciting period. Automation specialists all over the world have realized the benefits of adopting OPC into their industrial applications due to interoperability, open solutions, and freedom of choice. OPC stands for open connection in industrial automation and the business systems that support it. The design and maintenance of non-proprietary open standards specifications ensures interoperability. The COM/DCOM technologies established the foundation for software development.
