Tani OPC Server

OPC-Server connects computers with visualization or SCADA software with controllers of various manufacturers. The Tani-OPC-Server Ethernet allows accessing to controller from Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi, Wago, Modicon, Schneider Electric and others. The communication is very fast, easily to configure and allows lot of diagnostics and overviews.

At a glance

The Tani OPC Server supports the functions You will need. The Ethernet protocol You are using depends from the controllers and devices in Your plant. So this one service communicates with all the controllers.

Features

• No limit to the number of controllers and variables. Depending on the license limitations may exist.
• High degree of reliability for all OPC clients using OPC UA and DA.
• Redundancy for secure communication to the controllers S7 1500 and 1200: Online browse and “optimized data blocks”.
• S7 200/300/400: Easy to use Step 7 symbols directly from the Step 7 project.
• All configurations take effect immediately without annoying reboots or restarts.
• Handles data from other OPC devices and servers comfortable with integrated OPC UA Client
• Increased availability with extensive diagnostics.
• Contains a logger for diagnostics, for long time diagnostics also.
• The Windows and Linux versions (Raspberry also) are same in all functions, DCOM alone can be used under Windows.
• 72 hour version with unlimited functionality available here.
• Standard version for 50 controllers and 10000 items.

Application area

“All in one” OPC Server with maximum protocol and controller scope for various controller types and OPC variants and operation systems

The Tani OPC servers are made for heterogeneous networks with different controllers and devices from lot of different vendors. With the extensive diagnostics for easily commissioning it replaces lot of other OPC servers.

Tani offers OPC Server for the Raspberry PI, Odroid, PC Linux, Windows, and more.

Classic OPC is also available for Windows.

Expand your market share making your device capable for OPC UA.

Supported operation systems

• Windows 10, 11 (all versions). Older versions as Vista and Windows 7/8 also. 64 and on older Windows 32 bit.
• Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022.
• Linux on the Raspberry and Odroid computers (64 and 32 bit).
• Linux on many Phytec devices as the Regor and Tauri S (32 bit) and Tauri L (64 bit).
• Linux on a PC with Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Arch, Centos, Redhat and other Distributions.
• Linux 64 Bit as Docker or Kubernetes or Containerd Container.

Supported OPC interfaces

• OPC Pipe Open interface
• OPC UA (Unified Architecture)
• OPC DA (Classic OPC over DCOM, available under Windows only)

Supported controller types and devices

• Siemens S7 1200 and 1500 family. The optimized data blocks are supported, also structures, alarms, events. All symbols and comments are browsed online. The 2021 PLC firmware 2.9 works fine, the version 3.x from 2022 also.
• Siemens S7 over RFC1006 and Sinec H1. Supported are S7 200, 300 and 400, Logo 8, ET200. Siemens CP or the Ethernet interface onboard the CPU can be used. Mainstream MPI Gateways as Hilscher Netlink, Helmholz Netlink, IBH Softec Netlink, INAT Echolink, Process Informatik S7Lan or Softing Netlink are supported, too. S7 compatible systems as VIPA Speed7 can be used, too.
• Siemens S5 over RFC1006, PLC Header, RAW or Sinec H1. Supported are Siemens CPs, INAT CPs, Helmholz CPs, IBH Softec S5Net, Process Informatik S5Lan.
• Rockwell Compact Logix, Control Logix and GuardLogix, all firmware versions.
• Rockwell Micro 8 series as the 800, 810, 820 and more.
• Rockwell PLC5 and SLC series, all firmware versions.
• Routing paths are fully supported. This enables connecting to any PLC and accessing other PLC connected to an internal bus as DH+. So you will reach a PLC5 as example over another Rockwell as a CompactLogiX as router.
• GE PACSystems from General Electric. This controller family works with CIP from Rockwell.
• Mitsubishi Melsec Q, QL and FX5 family using the SLMP protocol (3E protocol).
• BACnet devices. BACnet is common used in building automation. BBMD and COV, alarms, events, trend, calendar, shedule, rpc, lists and more are supported.
• KNX. KNX also is used in building automation. All known symbol imports are supported.
• Devices using the Modbus TCP protocol.
• Modicon
