OPC training
OPC training
(OP)
I'm searching for some OPC training. I would like to get some training for a few of our guys(PLC techs, instrumentation/combustion techs and EEs). I'd like to have the following included:
-What is OPC?
-How does it work?
-How to set up an OPC server?
-What are the avaliable clients?
-How to program a client?
Basically assume that we are educated, but are ignorant of OPC.
Plant floor HMIs and data aquisition are becoming very important to our orginization and I feel that we NEED to educate ourselves about OPC. Where is a good place to start? I realize that it's quite possible to learn on your own, as I often do, but I'm looking for something formal.
Is this worth a darn?

RE: OPC training
But a presenter showed a typical setup of an OPC server with a test client as part of a 5 hour presentation over a day. I don't recall that they went through DCOM configuration, but a tech note on their web site pretty well covers those bases.
There must have been at least a dozen vendors to boot with related offerings.
I would suspect that by now OPC is touting their efforts to do enterprise level communications, but it still starts at the DA level.
For a freebie, how can you go wrong?
