The OPC EIE supports controllers whose data is maintained by an OPC server. The OPC EIE uses the OPC Comm device to communicate with an OPC server. OPC is a client/server technology. One application acts as the server providing data, and the other acts as a client using data. The CygNet OPC EIE acts as an OPC client.
Note: The OPC remote device EIE can only be paired with the OPC Comm device. The devices are non-functional without this exact combination.
