 Introduction
General Information
Computer Environment Operational Performance
Management is an important topic, as data processing, memory and
communication bottlenecks have much impact on the bottom line and
production servers. This software is a server for data acquisition
which enables Performance Monitor data to be available to any OPC-DA
client, including data historian-based real-time performance management
(RTPM) systems and OPC-DA compatible SCADA systems. It uses a fast
and reliable data acquisition engine allowing massive real-time
monitoring.
Features include:
 |
Scan of multiple computers; |
|
Intelligent scan load control; |
|
Data filtering (averaging); |
|
Compliant with the OPC DA2 specification. |
System Requirements
This OPC server has the following system requirements:
|
Microsoft Windows NT4/2000/XP |
|
Service Pack 5 (NT4) / Service Pack 4
(2000) / Service Pack 1 (XP) |
|
Intel/AMD processor @ 600MHz |
|
128MB RAM |
|
50MB Hard drive space |
|
Network interface card (Ethernet) |
Higher system hardware requirements may be
necessary when scanning more than five thousand tags or when a large
number of tags are scanned at a fast rate.
Server Overview
This server follows the requirements of the
OPC specification to provide data access to an OPC client. The server
is compatible with OPC Data Access (DA) version 2.0 of
the OPC interface and it can be used to monitor every reacheable
computer running Windows. The server core is heavily optimized to
achieve high performance by measuring response times of every computer
and balancing server load to maintain the specified refresh rate
for all computers. It is possible to customize scan parameters from
each computer. This feature allows you to build the most optimized
configuration for your computer environment.
