FP OPC Server
Connects your favorite industrial application to FP2 or other FP Series PLCs
The Panasonic FP OPC Server allows high-performance data transfer between applications supporting the universally accepted
OPC PC DA Standard (v1-v3) and Panasonic FP Series PLCs. The FP OPC Server manages the device-specific communication and
provides data via a standard interface. Thus OPC clients connected to the server can exchange information with FP2 or other FP
Series PLCs.
