7 Setting up communications This chapter describes: • what OPC ® is. • setting up communications. • what data servers are. • adding OPC data servers to an application. • adding RSLinx ® Enterprise data servers to an application. • setting up communications in RSLinx Enterprise • removing data servers from an application. About OPC communications OPC stands for OLE for Process Control, a protocol used to connect RSView ® to communication devices via vendor-specific OPC servers. RSView supports the OPC-DA 2.0 specification. OPC servers provide a way for RSView to retrieve tag values from: • Allen-Bradley ® controller devices, using RSLinx as an OPC server. • third-party controller devices, such as Siemens or Modicon ® , using third-party OPC servers.
