The OPC Foundation defines the standards that allow any client to access any OPC-compatible device. With OPC, your device-side server and application software can communicate without your duplicating device driver development and providing support for hardware feature changes. 2 Preface OPC (OLE for process control) is a standard interface between numerous data sources, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote terminal units (RTUs), and sensors on a factory floor to HMI/SCADA applications, application tools, and databases.
