Follow on Google News | New & Improved Online Resource for Automation IntegratorsOnline technology resource now available for automation integrators looking for information on how to use and integrate OPC technology into their manufacturing process. Resources include tutorials, whitepapers, product reviews, webcasts and software.
The purpose of the online center is to support those who want to use and integrate OPC Technology. The online center offers a breadth of free OPC resources including multimedia tutorials, whitepapers, product reviews, webcasts and software downloads. The resource center can be found on the OPC Training Institute website at www.opcti.com. What differentiates the OPCTI resource center from others is the focus on technology integration - not technology development. OPCTI is the only vendor-neutral company that offers information for integrators. Other similar organizations tend to focus primarily on the programming and development of OPC applications or the sale of OPC products. OPCTI does not develop or sell products, which leaves them to focus 100% on education and the integration of OPC technology. "There is something for everyone," says Randy Kondor, founder of the OPC Training Institute. "Whether you’re new to OPC and are looking for an introduction, or are an experienced integrator faced with a specific error message, our goal is to provide answers." Kondor goes on to say, "much of the content is provided by OPCTI’s professional instructors. We also work with OPC vendors to find out about their individual offerings and refer people to their technology solutions. For example, if you’re looking for a specific software application, we’ll tell you what is available on the market and provide you with a link to instantly download the product to test it out. Our resource center grows daily." Since its inception in 1996, OPC has grown and is used extensively throughout the world today. As OPC gains in popularity, so does the demand from integrators for information. OPCTI offers resources covering many aspects of OPC technology including security, DCOM configuration, sharing data between control systems, troubleshooting and industry best practices.
