SOPAS OPC-Server 1.6

SOPAS OPC-Server by SICK AG is a software gateway that connects SICK sensors and devices to OPC-compliant systems, enabling standardized data exchange across industrial automation environments. Working in conjunction with the SOPAS Engineering Tool, it discovers, organizes, and publishes device parameters and process values as OPC tags, making it straightforward to integrate SICK hardware with SCADA, HMI, PLC, and MES applications. The result is faster commissioning, simplified maintenance, and consistent access to device data for monitoring and control.

Key capabilities:

• Publishes device parameters, status information, and measured values as OPC tags
• Integrates with the SOPAS Engineering Tool for device discovery and configuration
• Supports read/write access for parameterization where permitted
• Offers tag browsing and structured organization aligned with device hierarchies
• Provides status and diagnostic information to aid troubleshooting
• Suitable for multi-device installations and centralized monitoring on Windows-based systems

Typical use cases:

• Integrating SICK sensors into existing SCADA/HMI platforms without proprietary drivers
• Remote parameterization and maintenance through a standardized interface
• Consolidated monitoring and control of diverse SICK devices across production lines
