OPC client with Visual C++ 2008
 

Hi all,

I have the following situation:
I created a program with Visual C++ 2008 express which receive and interpret data from a µC. Now I want to send this data from the Visual C++ program to an OPC server. Both programs run on the same PC. Therefore I need a connection between my programm and the server. So I think I have to integrate an OPC "client" in my program. But until now I have no Idea how to realize or how to start this. Perhaps anyone has some hints for me.

Thanks for any help

Daniel

What's an OPC server?

on wikipedia you can find a short introduction

Yes, I googled OPC, but there are several possibilities. Which particular expansion of OPC are you interested in? Remember I can't read your mind.

@ xpi0t0s: Thanks for your reply. Sorry I couldn`t iclude a link to my last post. OLE for Process Control is the old expansion. But what I read so far, is that today no expension is used for "OPC" server.

The best introduction to OPC I found is located here:
codeproject.com/KB/COM/opctechnology.aspx

And another source is the "OPC Foundation"

If I added "w"w"w" I couldn`t post my reply. So you have to insert if of course.
Why I can`t insert links?
