OPC Server for EcoStruxure Building Operation

Share EBO values and alarms with any OPC Client

The EBO-OPC server software allows Schneider Electric’s customers who are using the EcoStruxure Building Operation(EBO) to easily share EBO data with other systems via OPC DA or OPC UA. For example: Reporting tools, SQL Databases, SCADA/HMI, other BMS systems, Linux systems and embedded devices. Both OPC DA and OPC UA are supported. The EBO-OPC server software utilizes Schneider Electric’s SmartConnector technology to ensure the best performance. Multiple OPC clients are supported.

OPC-DA and OPC-UA support

OPC-UA is the successor to OPC-DA. It has many benefits, one of the most prominent being that it is platform agnostic. OPC-UA can be implemented on anything from a tiny embedded to device running Linux, to a desktop running Windows, or a server running the OS of your choice. For any new development, given the choice, OPC-UA should be used. The only reason to use OPC-DA at this point in time is if you’re connecting to a legacy product that only supports OPC-DA and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
