The C-Bus OPC Server provides a gateway for C-Bus and the OPC (Data Access, Alarm and Event) protocols. OPC is a broadly supported communications standard supported by many Building Management Systems and a large selection of general automation applications.
OPC also has a wide range of development toolkits available for many popular languages and frameworks, including .Net, Java, Delphi & C++. (A good resource for developers ishttp://www.opcconnect.com).
OPC Clients can be used to provide a User Interface to C-Bus as well as sophisticated alarms, event management, data logging and trending.
OPC Servers can also be linked together using third party tools to bridge C-Bus to hundreds of other protocols like Modbus and BACnet as well as most PLC's.
The C-Bus OPC Server is specifically designed for high availability in large commercial installations, but is equally suited for small projects where specific requirements are not met by existing C-Bus products.
The C-Bus OPC Server supports versions 1, 2.05a and 3 of the OPC Data Access specification and version 1.10 of the OPC Alarm and Events specification.
The C-Bus OPC Server software is not free software and a license must be purchased from your C-Bus product supplier. The following download will run as a demonstration version when no license is present.
