OPC Foundation established in 1996. What is OPC ? Object-oriented system provides standard framework for the configuration of reusable software components in Windows environment. Industry standard OLE (COM) interface for data transfer between industrial clients and servers. OPC Foundation established in 1996. International Non-Profit Foundation established for enacting the specification of the OPC interface. (Membership of the OPC Foundation is now over 350) Working as a member of committees for OPC specification. Yokogawa has been a member of the OPC Foundation since it was established in 1996 OPC = OLE (Object Linking & Embedding) for Process Control and OPC = Openness, Productivity, Connectivity Proprietary info goes here…

Proprietary info goes here… Benefits of OPC Reduced cost Investment protection Easier to maintain Increased productivity No single standard for interfacing with process data sources. Application vendors must each develop proprietary interface. Provides a standard interface for applications to communicate. Vendors only need to adhere to the standard OPC interface.

plus valuable functions What is Exaopc Number 1 OPC Server around the world on..... Highest Performance Highest communication performance <2,000data/sec.> Reliability & High Quality DCS class quality Online configuration History catch-up Connectivity Full compliance to OPC standard interface, and one of the best interoperability Server with OPC client plus valuable functions Proprietary info goes here…

Exaopc Primary Features Reliability History Catch-Up : Automatic back-up of historical data Traffic Stability : Cut off limits for peak access Easy Engineering DCS Tag List Equalization : Automatic equalize of tags Connection Test Tool : Analysis and trouble shooting Yokogawa DCS customization Message integration with HIS operator’s station (Process Alarm / Sequence Message / Operation-Guide etc.) Over 7800 OPC servers are installed in the world Proprietary info goes here…

Increased reliability of data. History Catch-up Automatic back-up historical data Automatically saves process data acquired by DA Server for a defined period. Restores data on restarting, even if the client is down. Facilitates reference of time series data. Unnecessary for client to specify data saving. Increased reliability of data. OPC Client (1)Client stop (3)Catch Up (2)Client re-start Ethernet ENG HIS Data Buffer Control Bus FCS Proprietary info goes here…

Optimized data handling to improve overall system efficiency Traffic Management Peak access management Controls influence of massive data access from client over DCS system functions Avoids control station and control bus data access overload Orders client to standby when exceeding max number of accessible data items Optimized data handling to improve overall system efficiency Proprietary info goes here…

DCS Tag List Equalization Automatic equalization with DCS tags Acquires CENTUM tag listing on Exaopc Auto-notifies the client of addition & deletion of tags occurred within the CENTUM domain Updates internal table for data acquisition based on the notified information and informs OPC client of the update HIS FCS Control Bus Ethernet ENG OPC Client Simplifies engineering to reduce deployment costs Tag List Tag List Proprietary info goes here…
