OPC Portal Server User Guide (AADvance Controller)
OPC clients connect to the server using Microsoft COM or, if located on a different
host, Distributed COM (DCOM). The OPC Portal Server and the controller
communicate using a secure protocol which is transparent to OPC clients. This
protocol is proprietary to ICS Triplex.
The OPC Portal Server runs as a Windows service. This means that it has no
application window, does not appear on the task bar and is not started using an icon.
The server will automatically start on boot up and continue to run without needing a
user to log in.
This manual describes the use of the OPC Portal Server under Microsoft Windows XP
Professional with Service Pack 2, Vista, Windows 7 or Server 3 32-bit or 64-bit..
Note: The OPC Portal Server conforms to version 1.10 of the Alarms and Events
Standard published by the OPC Foundation.
