Foxboro 76X Series OPC Server

The Foxboro 76X Series OPC Server reads and writes data from and to Foxboro 76X Series controller(s) using the Foxboro 76X Series binary communication protocol.

This Server meets the OPC Data Server Specification Version 2.0. It also supports OPC Version 1.0.

The Server has a graphical user interface (GUI) configuration environment with an "Explorer" look and feel. The configuration environment allows the Server to be configured with information such as which device to interface with and which data in those configured devices should be accessed. Once data points have been configured, the Server can communicate with these devices on behalf of the Clients. Data exchanged occurs between the Server and the defined device data locations.  These locations are defined as part of the configuration process generating Tags in the Server database. Clients and the Server then reference the data via the tag names.

The Server was developed by DASTEC Corporation using the OPC Server Toolkit from FactorySoft, Inc.
