SAEAUT SNMP OPC Server Basic

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.

Solution for integration of the computer network management and data pre-processing with SCADA using OPC interface or Web Services
It has the following features:
- implemented OPC specifications:OPC DA 3.0, 2.05, 1.0, OPC XML DA, OPC Alarms and Events Version 1.1 and 1.0
- implemented protocols: SNMPv2c, SNMPv1
- using SNMP commands GET, SET and TRAP
- using ICMP ping to manage devices without running SNMP agent and displaying of round trip time as one OPC variable
- tags in address space of the OPC server are defined using MIB object identifier (Object ID), for example .1.3.6.1.4.1.2681.1.2.102; defined Object ID's can be validated by input in OPC configurator
- the possibility to manage max. 15 devices with running SNMP agent
- implementation of MIB Browser, which scans SNMP manageable device for its SNMP variables that correspond to MIB objects (in the basic version, browsed items can not be added to OPC address space)
- IP Scanner, which is used for scanning computer network communities in defined IP area
- Import from csv files.
Installation package contains:
- SNMP OPC Server configurator
- runtime application (SNMP OPC Server process)
- OPC XML-DA wrapper
- source code examples for OPC test clients (written in VB6 and VB.NET) for the communication with SNMP OPC server, using OPC DA3 interface or Web Services
