What is a Writeback?

Write to the OPC Server when an Event or Trigger in the OPC

Data Logger occurs

These Events include

Database Connection going Offline

Database Connection coming Online

After every log to the Database

Similar Events for Text/CSV Files

Opened, Closed and after every log

Trigger Types

Scheduled, Recurring, Monitored Item

New Features in v 3.5.0.34

Support for OPC Unified Architecture (UA) standard Connect to an OPC UA server Support for security certificates

What is UA?

Unified Architecture A collaborative working effort of the

OPC Foundation and its members since 1994

Objective to create a standard that Isn’t dependent on DCOM Can interoperate with non-Windows

platforms Is more secure than the original OPC Removes redundant code across

interfaces

Value Point #1 – Common Interface Usage

Common Interfaces=Less Programming=More Products

An example of how a “Read” is consolidated

OPC Classic DA:

IOPCSyncIO::Read IOPCAsyncIO::Read IOPCAsyncIO2::Read IOPCAsyncIO3::Read IOPCItemIO::Read

A&E: IOPCEventServer::GetConditionState

HDA:

IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadRaw IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadProcessed IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadAtTime IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadModified IOPCHDA_SyncRead::ReadAttribute IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadRaw IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::AdviseRaw IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadProcessed IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::AdviseProcessed IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadAtTime IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadModified IOPCHDA_AsyncRead::ReadAttribute

OPC Unified Architecture

Read ReadHistory

Value Point #2 - Security

UA Server(s)UA Server(s)

UA Client(s)UA Client(s)

Security - Certificates

Digital Certificates are used for safe identification

A Certificate can represent a UA Server and UA Client

A Certificate can represent a Person (login)

Trust lists control accessUA Product(s)UA Product(s)

Profiles

What is a Profile? An identifiable block of

functionality that is

supported:

Methods needed

Information Model, i.e.

Type(s) of Data being

moved

Protocol & Security

“Data Access” is an

example of a Profile, as are

all OPC Classic interfaces

Why Profiles? Profiles tell clients and

servers what UA services and information models are available.

UA Products can decide if the other has the capabilities desired

Most UA developers are doing the DA profile for now in products on the street

Automation Vendor Adoption of OPC UA

ABB Beckhoff Siemens Rockwell Yokogawa GE

Iconics Kepware &

their many OEMs

Software Toolbox

And more…

Summary – Why UA?

No DCOM required ….No DCOM required Simple TCP/IP connection Firewall Friendly Platform Independent

Live Demo

Connect to a Remote OPC UA TOP Server using NO security

Connect to a Local OPC UA TOP Server using security

Connect to OPC UA OmniServer using security

Monitor an OPC Item and log based on a Boolean value

Monitor the Database Connection

Write a False to a Bit when the connection goes down.

Write a True to a Bit when the connection comes online.

Troubleshooting Tools

OPC Interoperability Testing

Verify OPC connectivity and compatibility with OPC

Server(s)

Test Mode

Test new configuration settings

Does not affect background logging that may be in progress

Events Window

Export events to a text file (*.CSV)

Events are logged to the Windows Event Viewer

Affordable

Text and CSV logging - $495

MySQL, SQL Server or Access logging - $795 each

ORACLE or OBDC logging - $995 each

No OPC Server Connection or Tag Counts

No Database Connection or Text File Counts

Troubleshooting Tools Included
