Mastering communication to increase productivity
Telemecanique® OPC Factory Server™ software (OFS™) uses the OPC standard which allows access to real-time PLC data. OFS is a multi-PLC data server, enabling several communication protocols to be used with client application programs and a set of services to access control system variables.

OFS software offers communication with most Telemecanique® Modicon® PLCs, including the new Unity™-platform Quantum™ and Premium™ PLCs, automatically importing objects from the Unity Pro™ software application. Additionally, OFS software communicates with some legacy PLCs.

Features and benefits

• Ease of use – the fast, user-friendly configuration tool minimizes the time it takes to set server parameters
• Fast communications – it is optimized to retrieve up to 5,000 variables in less than 60 seconds
• Debug your application before installation – a built-in test client, or simulator, allows you to visualize data without linking to a PLC
• Openness – enables third-party graphical interfaces and SCADA software to communicate with our PLCs
• Interoperability – provides seamless integration with SCADA, MES (Management Execution System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or Microsoft Excel files
