GENERAL
As data sharing between information systems increases, the requirement to efciently access and use plant information to meet business needs in a timely manner also increases. Within the process industry, the control room contains valuable information that has previously been inaccessible. Exaopc was created to provide an open OPC (Open Product Connectivity) interface bridge between the control room and the outside world. Exaopc is an OPC server running on a Microsoft Windows platform which can be connected to a variety of PCSs (Process Control Systems) providing OPC clients with process data and alarm events. This GS contains the specication for the Exaopc OPC Server Interface Package.

FEATURES
Major Applications
The Exaopc OPC Interface can be used in a wide variety of OPC client applications. - Yokogawa packages, including Exaquantum PIMS and Exapilot (Operation Efciency Improvement Package) - OPC standard compliant general-purpose applications - User applications created using VB or VC++
Trafc Control
When an OPC client attempts to access a large volume of data from a CENTUM CS system loading problems may occur (load concentration on control stations and control buses, in particular). To prevent problems, access from OPC clients are restricted to avoid the maximum accessible data rate being exceeded.
Exaopc supports Compliance Test Tool (CTT) [CENTUM VP/CS 3000/CS 1000]
Exaopc supports Compliance Test Tool (CTT) provided by the OPC Foundation. (Custom Interface for DA3.0, DA2.05a, A&E1.10, or HDA1.20)
Note: On CTT Compliance mode, some functions of Exaopc R3.21 or earlier version may not operate. If OPC client is Exaquantum, Exapilot, Exasmoc, or Exarqe, the conventional mode should be used. When use DA3.0, the CTT Compliance mode should be used.
Automatic Backup
The process data acquired by the DA server is automatically saved and stored in the historical database as backup data. Access to the stored data is enabled by the HDA server function.
IT Security support
A user can select suitable security level out from standard and legacy types. This IT security level is common through Yokogawa system products, and Exaopc is able to have the same IT security as CENTUM system.

Multiple Clients
A single Exaopc can be accessed from multiple OPC clients.
Multiple Servers
Users can access multiple Exaopcs from a single OPC client.

Batch Server
It depends on the conditions of the project and the application. On Exaopc, process alarms are treated as condition events. A table is provided to manage process alarm occurrence, ACK and recovery events. In case of overow on the table due to numerous process alarms, the OPC client will receive the process alarm occurrence events only. DCS will receive a system alarm to notify the overow situation on the table. If the data requests for a HDA are more than 20000 ItemIDs (2880 default recodes per each ItemIDs), the response may take a long time. It may be necessary to use one or more Exaopc. (Example: the phenomenon may occur when using the catch up function of Exaquantum.) The PC performance may be inuenced when the number of records increases from the default value. In order to achieve 4000 item ID/sec throughput, all of the following conditions must be met. - The system uses CENTUM VP R5.01 or later and Exaopc R3.70 or later. - All the FCS in the domain must be congured only with FFCS-V (models: AFV30/AFV40). Even if a UGS is deployed in the conguration, throughput ratio of 4000 item-ID/second can be realized. [Supplement] In case any one or more of SCS, AVR10D, SIOS, or GSGW are included in the conguration, the throughput ratio becomes 2000 item-ID/second. In case there are multiple domains in a CENTUM project, all the domains must meet the environmental conditions of CENTUM station deployment as described above to fulll 4000 item-ID/second. (If in case any of the domains in the project does not fulll the above mentioned conditions, the throughput ratio becomes 2000 item-ID/second for all the domains.)

The specication range of the severity for the SetFilter method is changed from 0 to 1000 (A&E1.0) to 1 to 1000 (A&E1.10). When severity=0 value is set for the SetFilter method to Exaopc A&E1.10 OPC server, an error code will be returned by Exaopc because it is out of range. Be sure to use A&E version compatible with both Exaopc and an OPC client accordingly.
