"Hope This Helps" !

Kumar is evidently of the generation that communicates principally in SMS neologisms, a regrettable but rising tide. Since OPC is itself a compound acronym, maybe SMS-speak is appropriate !

No, SMS-speak is NOT acceptable except in SMS communication between friends.

When people become comfortable with SMS-speak in a public forum like this, they will increasingly become comfortable with the lazy, hard-to-read communication in other professional forums, which will then carry over to the extremely unprofessional use of SMS-speak when interacting with customers. My customers will not tolerate that level of unprofessionalism. If you wish to be perceived as world-class, as the best in the business, you MUST communicate properly -- and SMS-speak simply doesn't pass the test.

Kumar,

Here are two links to our web site regarding OPC servers, specifically Kepware for whom we distribute.

This should help you in gaining an understanding of what the server is designed to do.

Basically in a nutshell, a server connects a device (PLC, DCS) to a client (HMI software, Database). Where a server really makes sense is when you have multiple protocols that you are needing to interface to one client.

FYI, you can download a fully functional version with a 2 hour run license, in order to become familiar with the product.
