OPCview Software for Intelligent data for standalone PLC and HMI

OPCView – Field to Boardroom connectivity

Rapidtekcontrols founded by team  located at chennai , with decades of experience in Automation industry mainly oil & gas. Our OPCView Software product developed by our team of software engineers specific for the process industry.

OPCView is an OPC Client Software that interfaces to OPC Servers.

About OPC

The acronym "OPC" comes from "OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for Process Control". Since OLE is based on the Windows COM (Component Object Model) standard, under the hood OPC is essentially COM. Over a network, OPC relies on DCOM (Distributed COM)

OPC is the interoperability standard for the secure and reliable exchange of data in the industrial automation space and in other industries. It is platform independent and ensures the seamless flow of information among devices from multiple vendors.

OPC is well suited to sharing data between different vendors’ systems because it eliminates connectivity problems caused by proprietary communications.

 OPC is implemented in server/client pairs. The OPC server is a software program that converts the hardware communication protocol used by a PLC into the OPC protocol. The OPC client software is any program that needs to connect to the hardware, such as an HMI. The OPC client uses the OPC server to get data from or send commands to the hardware.

Benefit of Rapidtek Controls OPCView

OPCView was developed to address the portability of real time process data from DCS and HMI and also to enable low cost availability of data for production analysis, operation de bottlenecking and identifying operational issues by providing historical data in Excel sheet for process and operation engineers. Few obvious benefits are listed as below:

·         Frees you from complex logic programming in your DCS / SCADA HMI for generating production reports such as Equipment running hours, flow totals, efficiency calculations, and shift wise reports including batch wise data compilations / comparisons. Now all this by OPCView in a single click

·         Unlike DCS we offer Unlimited Historian.

·         History statistics like Average , max , min values in single click

·         Desktop Data monitoring. Flexible licensing unlike DCS. Multiple desktops.

·         Desktop Trending

·         Desktop Reports in Excel. No complex scripting / programming. Leave the headache to us!!!

·         Interface to multiple third party devices like Energy meters , serial devices. We interface directly to OPCView server. No need for PLC programming or hardware modules!!!

·         MES / ERP interfaces

·         Third Party serial devices interface like weigh bridges.

·         Stand alone PLC interface for Pollution control compliance Reporting

·         Existing Analog Panels Interface for Data Digitization
