Hi,
I usually program the HMI side of a SCADA system which is usually connected to an expensive name brand PLC or other metering equipment. I'm wondering how to do the same with a cheap microcontroller like MSP430. I could use a DIGI to send the signal out to the cell network, but how do I format the data into something a Data Acquisition Server can understand? Is there a C library that will translate into OPC then send the data out?
This in between step seems to be the mystery box that I haven't quite learned yet.
