Ensure that the "OPC Client" core files are checked. If given an option to install sample tags or documentation, keep them selected for future reference.
A redistributable package (originally dated December 16, 1999) installs the Server Browser, Data Access 2.0 proxy DLLs, and the Automation wrapper DLL into the Windows system directory.
Ensure the latest version of .NET Framework is installed.
If connecting to a local server, leave the host machine field as localhost or 127.0.0.1 . If connecting to a remote server, type the target computer’s IP address or network hostname.
Choose the installation path. The default path is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\FactorySoft\OPC Client\ (on 64-bit systems). It is recommended to keep the default directory. Click Next .
FactorySoft OPC Client is a powerful software application that enables communication between OPC servers and clients, facilitating data exchange and monitoring. By following the installation requirements and steps outlined in this paper, users can successfully install and configure FactorySoft OPC Client. By adhering to best practices and leveraging the key features of the software, users can optimize their industrial automation processes and improve overall efficiency.
The client can see the tag name, but the server cannot read the value from the physical PLC (check PLC wiring or addressing).
The FactorySoft OPC Client is a widely used diagnostic and connectivity tool in industrial automation. It allows engineers to test connectivity, browse tags, and verify data communication between OPC servers and control systems.
Always create a logical group before adding tags. Groups control the update rate (e.g., 1000ms) at which the client requests data from the server.
Once completed, select "Launch FactorySoft OPC Client" and click . Post-Installation Configuration
