Genesis OPC Explorer

Genesis OPC Explorer is an application that you can use in order to connect to any OPC server and organize critical data acquisition. The data is displayed neatly via graphics or charts and can be a trump card for a quick or general view of visual data inspection. According to the developer, the program has been intensely tested to ensure that it exhibits the correct behavior, efficiency and memory management on different computers connected or not within the same network.

While currently OPC stands for the set of standard specifications for communication between devices from different suppliers, originally it was dubbed OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for Process Control. As the technology advanced, so did the standard and hence, the idea behind OPC is to provide a common interface between compatible Windows applications.

With the release of the Unified Architecture, OPC laid the foundation for the next generation of open data connectivity. Thanks for this standard, end users can nowadays benefit from multi-vendor plug-and-play components that can be integrated into enterprise-wide automation and business systems. Speaking of businesses, they stand to gain increased flexibility and a cost reduction when it comes to system integration, development, process control system or factory automation.
