OPC Client for SICLIMAT X

OPC

SICLIMA

SICLIMAT

The use of an OPC Client enables variables from third-party controllers with

access to an OPC server to be made available in SICLIMAT X.

In addition, any variables from SIMATIC S5 and S7 controllers which were not

engineered with the Engineering Manager utility can also be made available in

SICLIMAT X.

Application

The OPC Client (OLE for Process Control) ensures continuity between the automation

products of different manufacturers, based on the OPC standard.

This permits affordable operation and monitoring of third-party data points, SIMATIC

S5/S7 (where not engineered in SICLIMAT X), fire detection systems etc., and the

connection of various building services (smoke and heat extraction systems, air

curtains, sump pumps, compressed air etc.) with types of DDC technology to the

building management system.

OPC is the industry communication standard.

Many suppliers in this market provide OPC drivers for their systems.
