OPC or DDE with EcoStruxure Building Operation

Issue

Support for OPC or DDE integration with EcoStruxure Building Operation

Product Line

EcoStruxure Building Operation

Environment

  • Building Operation Enterprise Server
  • Building Operation Automation Server Premium

Cause

The OPC Server is a software program that converts hardware communication protocol into the OPC protocol. The OPC client software is any program that needs to connect to the hardware. The OPC client uses the OPC server to get data from or send commands to the hardware.

Resolution

Neither the OPC server nor the DDE configuration is supported at this time. There is not currently a roadmap for direct OPC client or server capability within the EcoStruxure Building Operation.

To avoid problems with OPC Integration (and lose a project), there are two options for OPC integeration:

  1. It is possibe to use a converter to convert OPC to/from one of EBO supported protocols.  For example, use a 3rd party software to translate all the OPC points into BACnet Objects, “OPC Server -> BACnet Server”, or translate all EBO BACnet points to OPC. Perhaps one of the software programs below will be of benefit. Take into consideration what specifically will the ES be doing. If it is exchanging point values then it should work fine.
    • Kepware
    • Matrikon
    • SCADA engine
    • Note: These are 3rd party products that are not supported by Shneider Electric. 

     

  2. Use a SmartConnector Extension to be a middleware between EBO and OPC cilent or server. Check available extenstions at Exchange shop and SmartConnector Server and refer to EBO SmartDriver and Smart Connector KB article for more information.
