Course Information

Overview

This two-day workshop covers the pragmatic aspects of using OPC in industrial settings. From acquiring and managing data from your data sources to traversing domain and network boundaries, this workshop shows you how to work with OPC applications in ‘real world’ settings. This workshop includes a series of practical exercises in a simulated environment to reinforce the material covered throughout the teaching sessions.

Objectives

Completion of this workshop provides the participant with a solid understanding of the following;

How OPC applications (both Classic and UA) are used to acquire process data in an industrial environment
How OPC Classic applications can be used to share data from real-time data sources
How OPC Classic applications can be used to share data from historical data sources
How OPC UA applications can be used to share data from all data sources
How OPC applications can be used to provide redundancy in process control systems
How OPC Classic applications handle network traversal to cross domain and network boundaries
How OPC UA applications handle network traversal to cross domain and network boundaries

Participants will also gain experience in using the knowledge from this workshop, and the Overview and Concepts workshop, in a practical troubleshooting environment.
