The PN CBA OPC server (PROFINET OPC server) is the PC application interface for communication over Industrial Ethernet with PROFINET CBA components.
OPC client applications communicate with the PN CBA OPC server over a standardized, open and manufacturer-independent interface.
The PN CBA OPC server offers:
Standardized access for OPC-capable applications and Windows applications (e.g. Microsoft Office) to variables that are available on the component interface of the PROFINET CBA components.
High-performance data access over the "Custom Interface" (C++, .NET)
Easy to use with the "Automation Interface" (VB, .NET) and the OCX Data Control included in the scope of supply.
Internet communication over OPC XML DA Interface
Based on the PROFINET standard. This standard supports:
Component technology in automation engineering
Graphical configuration of communication between intelligent devices instead of complex programming
Manufacturer-independent, plant-wide engineering
Vertical integration, i.e. the user can access the interface variables of a PROFINET component by means of IT standards and an OPC interface over Industrial Ethernet.
