OPC Server on an Ethernet Network
Connects to the RSLinx Classic OPC server or a 3rd party OPC server such as Kepware.
OPC devices and meters allow FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix to communicate with a wide
variety of Rockwell Automation and third-party devices by using OPC. Connection to
third party OPC servers such as Kepware require installation of the FTEMOPC 3rd party
communication option. The OPC Browser may be used for setting up Devices, Meters,
and Meter tags.
An important use for OPC meters is to log data from Allen-Bradley Logix family
controller native tags by using the RSLinx Classic OPC server. To support OPC, RSLinx
Classic software must be activated at the OEM level or higher, for example, Professional
or Gateway.
FactoryTalk Live Data Server on an Ethernet Network
Connects to the FactoryTalk Live Data Server (RSLinx Enterprise). The OPC Browser
may be used for setting up Devices, Meters, and Meter tags.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Server on Ethernet Network
Connects to a remote FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server to obtain logged data as a roll-up
server. A roll-up server device is used to establish a connection to a remote
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server.
When roll-up meters and meter tags are configured, their data will be transferred from the
remote server at a rate defined in the web.config file. The default rate is once every 60
minutes.
