There are two possible ways to connect a 3rd party OPC Server to System 800xA:
1. Generic OPC Connect (included in base system).
2. PLC Connect connectivity server option (requires a specific license).
Generic OPC Connect:
The generic OPC Connect integrates any OPC/DA server to a system. The OPC server structure will be uploaded and created in the control structure. This structure reflects the 3rd party OPC server structure, which is not that easy to recognize for the user.
Refer Section 2 Data Access, Integrating OPC servers in System 800xA from manual 800xA System Configuration 3BDS011222R5021 for more information.
PLC Connect:
With the PLC Connect the system will act as a SCADA system, where it is possible to define any type of structure in the control structure and then connect to OPC items in the 3rd party OPC server. PLC Connect also has included features for signal treatment, alarm generation etc. PLC Connect is the preferred solution when building more advanced solutions to 3rd party OPC Servers.
Refer PLC Connect manuals 3BSE03504* for more information.
