OPC-Server and ProConOS® Gateway for distributed communication
The ProConOS®OPC-Server opens the door to the standard world of Windows® or Windows® CE. The ProConOS® Gateway enables remote access to ProConOS®PLCs via the TCP/IP Protocol (Internet or Ethernet).
ProConOS® OPC-Server
The ProConOS® OPC-Server is responsible for the data exchange between Windows® and Windows® CE applications and ProConOS® PLCs via the manufacturer-independent client/server interface OPC (OLE for Process Control). For example, visualisations or databases can access process data of the control via the OPC-Server.
Certification: The ProConOS® OPC-Server has been tested by the OPC Foundation in numerous interoperability tests with a number of OPC Clients.
ProConOS® Gateway offers an increase in the availability of machines and plants, as various tasks can be executed from any desired location, such as:
Control and analysis of PLCs
Download and activation of new PLC programs
Reconfiguration or bug-fixing in PLC systems
ProConOS® Gateway allows the communication between MULTIPROG® and ProConOS® PLCs to be routed via subnets without having to consult the network administrator. Access to LANs and subnets via ProConOS® Gateway can be realized via the cheap and world-wide available communication medium called Internet.
