OPC Gateways provide compliance with DA 2.05a

These products for the OPC community range from the Protocessor gateways that enable OEMs to easily provide OPC interface to Fieldserver multichannel gateways for the end user and integrator to meet communicate via OPC.

OPC is open connectivity in industrial automation and enterprise systems.

The OPC Foundation has established standards of communication that assures the interoperability demanded by developers and integrators.

FST gateways provide legacy and proprietary devices access to the power of OPC and, with the across-the-board testing of all levels of gateways, Fieldserver is said to be the first gateway provider that can provide such a range of interface for all levels of integration.

The gateways tested to be compliant to OPC specifications include: FS-B20 Series - OPC Gateway with serial and Ethernet interface capability; FS-B3510 - Multichannel OPC Gateway with dual Ethernet and four serial ports to interface multiple devices and protocols to OPC.

Other protocols include Lonworks, Devicenet, Controlnet and Profibus; FS-B40 Series - 10-port OPC Gateway with 10 Serial and dual Ethernet ports for large system interface; OPC Server - standalone OPC server; Protonode - external gateway solution for OEM applications.
