DVT Corp has released a new PC-based OPC server designed to work with the company's Legend series of smart camera-based machine vision systems.

The OPC Server was developed for DVT by US partner Iconics, a global leader in OPC-based, web-enabled visualisation software for manufacturing, automation and business solutions, and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.

OPC technology can eliminate expensive custom interfaces and drivers normally required for interconnecting equipment and moving data throughout the organisation.

It also promotes interoperability among different computing solutions and platforms both horizontally and vertically in the enterprise.

"The DVT OPC server opens the world of plug-and-play interoperability to machine vision users", commented Steve Gieseking, DVT Director of Research and Development.

"It is easier to configure and is more robust than existing OPC software options".

The following standards are supported by the DVT 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.
