Bus diagnostics
Trebing & Himstedt, supplied in South Africa by Lapp, has developed a PROFIBUS OPC Server for Windows 95/98/2000/XP. It supports the PROFIBUS protocols FMS, DP master class 1 and DP master class 2. A special feature is the ODBC interface which can be used to transfer all data required for configuring the OPC address space or for automatic generation of configuration data. The configuration data is readily available to the OPC client as the T&H OPC Server also supports browsing. (Figure 5)
