PLC as OPC DA client

Ask Questions
1

Hi,
I’m working on PLC project with Yokogawa OPC DA server.
Is it possible to use B&R PLC to access to Yokogawa OPC server?
Could anyone please lead me to the technical information about PLC as OPCda client?
Thank you

Actually I don’t think there is. Via PVI there was an option for a DA server, but DA client… never heard of it. Also checking the AS help there is only the server mentioned in the OPC chapter.

Best regards

As Marcel indicated, the B&R PLC cannot be an OPC DA client. If the Yokogawa server only has OPC DA interfaces, then you would need to run the B&R PVI OPC Server on the same Windows system and run an OPC DA data mover between the two servers (I’m making the assumption that something of this sort exists).

Thank you @austin.carpenter
Do you have more information about using PVI OPC to get data from 3rd party OPCda server?
