April 2005 OPC Interop Workshop
Intro | Testing | Servers Tested
Intro
The OPC Data Control tested flawlessly again at this years OPC Interop held
in Tampa, FL. With a record attendance and more vendors being present than ever we were able to test with more OPC Servers than
ever before.
Testing
We adopted the same test patterns as used in previous interoperability
workshops, which included: Synch Reads, Synch Writes, and Asynch Subscription reads. We also tested varying update rates including
extremely high update rates, deadband settings, and simultaneous high speed reads. Where supported, we also tested Array
Variable read/writes - not all OPC servers support arrays but for those that did, we tested. The entire workshop was done via
DCOM connections over a 100 Mb network with all client and server machines on the same subnet (approximately 50 laptop/desktop
computers).

If your OPC server vendor is not listed it does NOT mean that our OPC Data control
will not work with it - if the OPC Server follows the specs, the OPC Data Control
should work fine all the same. It only means that vendor was not present at the
Interop Workshop. If your OPC Server vendor has never attended an OPC Interop
workshop, you as their customer should encourage them too -- it's a great
technical session and a great opportunity for them to test out their products with
others - we'll be there doing the testing so you as the customer don't have to!
There were no issues found that were issues with the OPC Data Control client
application with any of these servers in testing. If you will be using one of these
servers and wish to discuss any server side issues that were seen (that may be resolved by now by the server vendor), please contact us.
