Overview
Solve common system connectivity issues using field-tested OPC technology
Reduce integration time by learning to install, configure, and test OPC
Improve system reliability using standards-based technology
Reduce long term ownership costs by building robust systems
Quickly troubleshoot and diagnose Windows security problems
Receive a detailed description of the OPC DA specifications
Develop OPC clients and servers and standard software interface requirements
For engineers, developers and integrators who are integrating new systems, expanding current operations, replacing legacy equipment and looking for ways to improve data communication. Our OPC Training Day provides a practical approach to learn and understand the methods of accessing data through OPC technology.
Unlike other OPC courses that only provide basic lectures, MatrikonOPC provides interactive, hands-on workshops that enable participants to install, configure, and test OPC servers and applications using a variety of OPC specifications including OPC Data Access, Redundancy, and Alarms & Events.

Objectives
Upon completion of our OPC Training Day, graduates will have the following knowledge and skills:
- Understand the various OPC specifications including Data Access, Historical Data Access and Alarms & Events.
- Configure, and test OPC servers & clients.
- Understand the benefits of OPC and how OPC components can be used to build efficient and flexible systems.
- Troubleshoot and diagnose common networking problems.
- Learn how to optimize an OPC solution to maximize the performance of a system

Abstract
Introduction to OPC: The course begins with an introduction to OPC and explains the fundamental concepts including the vision of OPC. Through examples and case studies, participants will understand how OPC compares to traditional or proprietary connectivity methods. Emphasis will be placed on the most common specification - OPC Data Access (DA). Participants will also learn the history of OPC and how it has evolved into the largest connectivity standard used within the automation industry today.
OPC Communication: OPC Tunnelling technology deals with the exchange of process data across different domains, WANS, unreliable networks and low bandwidth infrastructures. The factors that impact these environments will be explained and participants will be shown how OPC Tunnelling is used to resolve these issues.
OPC Alarms & Events: The OPC Alarms and Events (A&E) module begins by explaining the differences between alarms and events. The presentation will cover OPC A&E types, conditions and sub-conditions, notifications, and states. Alarms & Events State Diagrams are used to depict specific scenarios at the end of the module.
OPC Redundancy: This module explores how redundancy can be applied to different levels of the plant infrastructure in order to achieve the highest degree of communication reliability possible. Device, driver, and application level redundancy will be presented and discussed. This includes connection policies, watchdog tags, diagnostics and statistics. Discussions will also include the business and economic impact redundant systems have on a plant.
OPC Client Server Architecture: The client/server architecture is the basis of any OPC architecture. Using the client/ server architecture, students learn how to connect various control systems together, and transfer data between these systems.
OPC Historical Data Access: This module looks at the OPC Historical Data Access (HDA) specification and how it differs from OPC DA. Common OPC client applications such as trenders and spreadsheets will be demonstrated and OPC utilities will be used to transport and migrate historical data from one source to another.

Learning Environment
The OPC Training Day is held within a classroom environment (max. 12 attendees) where each student will be supplied with their own computer for the duration of the workshop. The workshop will be made up of lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and hands-on exercises. It will be an open and friendly environment that encourages discussion and participation. Students are welcome to discuss current connectivity issues they are faced with and learn from one another.
