The NEWPORT OPC Server software makes it easy to integrate NEWPORT hardware with software
programs that are OPC compliant. The NEWPORT OPC Server is compatible with almost all
NEWPORT meters, controllers, and signal conditioners featuring Ethernet or Serial Communications.
The NEWPORT OPC Server is available on CD-ROM or can be downloaded at no charge from the
NEWPORT Web site. Without the License Activation Code, the free program will time-out after two (2)
hours. These two-hour sessions can be repeated as often as necessary to evaluate the software at no
charge.
To activate this license, you must first download the program or install from CD-ROM, and provide
NEWPORT with the unique Installation Specific Code that will be presented within the installation
process. If you choose to purchase a license On-Line, include this Installation Specific Code number in
the "special instructions" for your order. As soon as possible during normal business hours, or the next
business day, NEWPORT will provide you with the specific License Activation Code.
What is an OPC Server?
OPC Servers are hardware drivers that are written to a common standard, OPC or "OLE for Process
Control". OPC compliant programs (OPC Clients) for HMI, SCADA, DAS, etc. are available from
NEWPORT, OMEGA, Wonderware, iconics, Intellution, Rockwell Automation, and National Instruments,
among others.
The OPC Foundation offers this explanation: "OPC (originally OLE for Process Control) is an industry
standard created with the collaboration of a number a leading worldwide automation and hardware
software suppliers working in cooperation with Microsoft.
The standard defines method for exchanging realtime automation data among PC-based clients using
Microsoft operating systems. The organization that manages this standard is the OPC Foundation.
The OPC Specification is a non-proprietary technical specification that defines a set of standard
interfaces based upon Microsoft’s OLE/COM technology. The application of the OPC standard interface
makes possible interoperability between automation/control applications, field systems/devices and
business/office applications.
"Traditionally, each software or application developer was required to write a custom interface, or
server/driver, to exchange data with hardware field devices. OPC eliminates this requirement by defining
a common, high performance interface that permits this work to be done once, and then easily reused
by HMI, SCADA, Control and custom applications.
An unlimited runtime version of the OPC Server Software requires purchase of a license and entry of a
unique License Activation Code. Without this code, the free OPC Server program will time-out after two
(2) hours.
