OPC UA for OpenVMS®
RoviSys is proud to offer the first and the only native OpenVMS OPC UA interface.
OPC UA is useful in applications where your OpenVMS system serves as a data source
to other systems (graphics, historians, Level 1, ERP, etc.) or receives data from
other systems (PLC or DCS). Using the independent Unified Architecture (UA) standard
recently introduced by the OPC Foundation, RoviSys is able to offer full OPC UA
Client and OPC UA Server interfaces for your OpenVMS system. OPC UA for OpenVMS
connects effortlessly with any other OPC UA interface on any operating system, from
field instrumentation to Level 1 systems to higher level systems such as MES and
ERP. Your OpenVMS system on the plant or shop floor can now be interfaced to your
board room or many other locations throughout your facility.
- OPC UA Client-The Client
can be integrated into any existing architecture for applications where your OpenVMS
system needs to gather data from an OPC source (PLC, DCS, etc.). Integration is
via a library of API calls that can be integrated into your code to replace your
old communication interface.
- OPC UA Server-The Server
can be integrated into any existing architecture. It turns your OpenVMS system into
a data source for other systems (graphics, historians, Level 1, ERP, etc.). The
Server is integrated via a library of API calls. It is customized to a user’s specific
application to allow simple and complex data to be accessed. Once your data is connected
to the Server, the Server will take care of sending it in the appropriate format
and at the proper rate to any OPC UA Client needing the data.
- OPC UA Client and Server-Both
the OPC Client and Server can be installed on your system and work together as needed
where your system serves as both a data source and a data sink.
