LImaco OPC server
The main task of Limaco OPC server is to receive and process the data from level gauges. Software Limaco OPC server is based on the open commercial standard of OPC DataAccess data exchange, the simple and inexpensive way of integrating the level gauging system into SCADA.
Functionality
Limaco OPC server performs such functions as: configuration of level gauges, data collection from level gauges, calculating of additional parameters (volume, mass, speed of filling up and emptying the tank, etc.), data mapping of tanks, interaction with other software products supporting the OPC DataAccess interface (SCADA systems), data transfer between the remote computers of the local network and add-on devices.
Brief review
Installation of Limaco OPC server and further configuration of level gauging system have the simple and comprehensible interface that excludes staff mistakes and doesn’t require additional training.
The server with a certain frequency scans the level sensors through the MODBUS RTU protocol and processes the data received from each of them in accordance with OPC rules. The program displays all received from the level sensor and calculated data, therefore, it can be used as the simplest visualization program.
All the information received from the level sensors is processed individually for each tank. The server makes the data, both received from the level sensor and calculated by the server itself, available to the client programs through the OPC interface. All the data can be read by the client programs, and are also displayed by the OPC server.
