1.1 Overview of GateOPC Functions
GateOPC is a software program that uses the OPC (OLE for process control) protocol—
Microsoft’s data exchange technology that is supported in a wide range of industries—to
acquire measurement data and pass that data to Yokogawa’s DAQLOGGER or Remote
Monitor. Using GateOPC allows you to acquire and monitor data on DAQLOGGER or
Remote Monitor that comes from Yokogawa recorders or other companies’DCS and PLC
devices with OPC server functionality.
Yokogawa’s DAQLOGGER is a software program that allows users to open a connection
from their PC to various kinds of Yokogawa recorders (the µR, VR, DARWIN, DX, MV,
and CX) and perform data logging and monitoring.
Yokogawa’s Remote Monitor is application software that enables monitoring of data
logged by recorders or data logging software.

.
* However, DAQLOGGER’s shortest interval is 1 second. Also, the maximum speed of 0.5
seconds may not be attainable depending on the amount of data being read, the response
time of the device, and the communication speed.
