Practical OPC Training – OPC Technology and Advanced Architecture Development.
Limited Places
Language: English
Professional Development Hours: 24 (8 hr/day)
Dates: 9 -11 October - OPC Technology - Paris
Overview:
The OPC technology Workshop is geared towards:
• Solve common system connectivity issues using field-tested OPC technology
• Reduce integration time by learning to install, configure, and test OPC
• Improve system reliability using standards-based technology
• Reduce long term ownership costs by building robust systems
• Quickly troubleshoot and diagnose Windows security problems
For engineers and integrators who are integrating new systems, expanding current operations, replacing legacy equipment and looking for ways to improve data communication; our OPC hands-on workshops provide a practical approach to learn and understand the methods of accessing data through OPC technology.
Unlike other OPC courses that only provide basic lectures, Matrikon provides interactive, hands-on workshops that enable participants to install, configure, and test OPC servers and applications using a variety of OPC specifications including OPC Data Access, Historical Data Access, and Alarms & Events.
Objectives:
Upon completion of OPC technology, graduates will have the following knowledge and skills:
• Understand the various OPC specifications including Data Access, Historical Data Access and Alarms & Events.
• Understand how OPC works behind the scene
• Understand the client/server architecture and how connections are made
• Learn how to use OPC on the old and new operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 2008
• Install and configure OPC servers & clients and Test OPC connections
• Understand and work with OPC DA data
• Integrate archives and analyze data using OPC HDA, and Configure remote OPC connections.
• Recognize, identify, and solve various networking problems through common symptoms
• Understand the inner workings of DCOM and learn how to set or restore an OPC system’s DCOM configuration
• Use advanced troubleshoot techniques to diagnose and debug any OPC connection and system
• Solve a series of simulated OPC issues
• Identify problems related to interoperability
Materials Included:
• Dedicated use of a computer for the duration of the course
• OPC Workshop Manual and Exercice guide
• USB with OPC tools, Servers and Clients
• Certificate of Successful Completion
• Meals: Lunch, coffee breaks.
