ProSoft技術型PC56-OPC，一款結合互用性成效具備OPC服務器的In-Rack PC Prosoft技術公司在開發工業協議和網絡連通性解決方案領域已有近二十年的經驗，一直致力于互用性的深一層研究。由ProSoft提供的In-rack PC在與擴展線結合后，成了一款為ControlLogix處理器設計的具備OPC服務器的in-rack PC（PC56-OPC）。在直接通過ControlLogix底板增加有效且可靠的數據時，PC56-OPC能夠在難以控制的操作條件下維修所要求的高速處理。 PC56-OPC是即插即用的產品，可以整合在現存的ControlLogix架上而不用修改控制器程序。模塊的獨特設計排除了對昂貴的中間品的需要，實現了既可簡易安裝且具改良性能。對于額外的可靠性和無縫操作，用戶可以在一個單板中放入多個模塊來支持冗余網絡。 ARC顧問公司研究主任Craig Resnick說：“協作的生產環境要求制造商在制造企業內部實現多域連接。”作為制造商開發的工廠架構，對制造域中的界面已做了定義，必須包括標準通訊規格，如OPC做為其架構中的一部分通過制造企業確保互用性。 產品描述 PC56-OPC允許用戶直接通過羅克韋爾自動化的ControlLogix底板使用數據。 PC56-OPC是一款高效的且經濟有效的解決方案，通過底板在模塊中實現從ControlLogix控制器到OPC服務器運行的數據無縫傳輸。 In-rack PC擁有OPC服務器的好處 改良的可靠性：在客戶軟件與ControlLogix硬件之間無中間設備。 利用PC56-OPC模塊實現寬容的硬件冗余 經由一個為配置和診斷提供支持的繪圖界面SMC，實現配置的簡單使用。 original text [COLOR=#708090]ProSoft Technology’s PC56-OPC, an In-Rack PC with OPC Server, joins the effort for interoperability ProSoft Technology has developed industrial protocol and network connectivity solutions for nearly two decades, and is dedicated to furthering the effort toward interoperability. Joining the expanding line of in-rack PCs offered by ProSoft is the new in-rack PC with OPC Server for ControlLogix processors （PC56-OPC）. The PC56-OPC is capable of maintaining tight control of operations requiring high processing speeds, while adding to efficiency and reliability by bringing data directly across the ControlLogix backplane. The PC56-OPC is a plug-and-play product that can integrate into an existing ControlLogix rack without requiring a single modification to the controller program. The module’s unique design allows for a simple installation and improved performance, while eliminating the need for costly middleware. For added reliability and seamless process, users may place multiple modules into a single rack to support a redundant network. According to Craig Resnick, Research Director, ARC Advisory Group, “Collaborative manufacturing environments require that manufacturers connect plant floor production systems with multiple domains across the manufacturing enterprise. As manufacturers develop factory architectures that define the interfaces of the manufacturing domains, they should include standard communication specifications such as OPC as an integral component of their architecture to insure interoperability across the manufacturing enterprise.” Product Description The PC56-OPC allows users to connect an OPC Client to access data directly over the Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix backplane. The PC56-OPC is an efficient and cost-effective solution that seamlessly delivers data across the backplane from the ControlLogix Controller to an OPC Server running in the module. Benefits of the in-rack PC with OPC Server • Improved reliability and performance: No middleware between client software and ControlLogix hardware • Easy Hardware Redundancy by utilizing two PC56-OPC modules • Easy-to-use configuration tools via SMC （Management Console）, a graphical interface providing for configuration and diagnostic support.[/COLOR]
