DVT Corp. recently announced the availability of a new PC-based object linking and embedding for process control server designed to work with the company’s Legend series of smart camera-based machine vision systems.

OPC technology can eliminate expensive custom interfaces and drivers normally required for interconnecting equipment and moving data throughout the organization. It also promotes interoperability among different computing solutions and platforms both horizontally and vertically in an enterprise.

“The DVT OPC server opens the world of plug-and-play interoperability to machine vision users,” says Steve Gieseking, DVT director of research and development. “It’s easier to configure and is more robust than existing OPC software options.”

The OPC server was developed for DVT by Iconics Inc., a leader in OPC-based, Web-enabled visualization software for manufacturing, automation and business solutions. The following standards are supported by the OPC server: OPC DA 1.0, OPC DA 2.05A, OPC DA 3.0, OPC DA Auto 2.0, OPC XML-DA 1.0, OPC AE 1.10 and OPC Complex Data 1.0.
