Usage

There are many devices that SAEAUT SNMP OPC Server™ can communicate using SNMP protocol with. From the beginning, this protocol has been used mainly for managing of network communication infrastructure consisting of computers,switches routers, bridges. Because of broad usage SNMP protocol within different operating systems, clearly defined meaning of variables within standardised and also enterprise and device specific MIB files, the creating of communication gateway for other communication standards is very useful.

OPC standards are very much used not only in industry but also in building automation and bussines applications. The most used standards is OPC DA. Its possibilities are complemented by OPC XML DA (that brings possibility of web service based communication ) and the newest OPC UA standards that (except of web services and binary communication ) brings higher interoperability and data modeling capability.

To be able to integrate this network management into the various HMI or SCADA systems, which include OPC clients, it is very useful to implemented SNMP manager into the application of OPC server.
