This tool provides SNMP support within a OPC server.
The OPC standard started as OLE for Process Control (OPC) or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process Control. Currently that stands for "Open Platform Communications". Quite commonly managing industrial and network devices is done by running SNMP manager on a workstation and SNMP agents to run on the devices. For making it easy to integrate network management into various HMI and SCADA systems that implement OPC clients, it helps to incorporate SNMP manager into OPC server application. This is such a solution. This tool implements a Network Management System via protocols SNMPv2c and SNMPv1. This product is compatible with the latest OPC standard called Unified Architecture (UA). It is able to manage and monitor unlimited number of devices with SNMP agents. Standard SNMP command GET and SET are supported.
The built-in MIB Browser (on-line) is able to query SNMP manageable devices to get SNMP variables as per objects in MIB database. User is able to obtain object IDs, data types and values, etc. An offline browser is available for browsing SNMP variables from MIB files provided with SNMP devices. The JScript available to manipulate the data can be configured from the SNMP OPC server. An IP Scanner module helps scan a computer network in a given IP range and determine the SNMP devices connectivity. Receiving of SNMP TRAP, notification message from SNMP Agents and logging of server events are easily managed. Heartbeat functionality is provided. This is a very good product. If you are looking for a similar solution, you should try it in your exact workflow.
