Hi

Can you please help me to know the communication method used in the communication between different OPC servers?
 
I am just reading the basics of OPC. Could someone provide me with examples of OPC servers and OPC clients? Can we see them physically? I read OPC server is only a software and not a device. Is it right?

Correct Software. Do you have an actual application your considering to use OPC with, like PLC, RTU other ?

To get some hands on experience, you can download a fully functioning 30-day trial Modbus/TCP OPC Server and OPC Client here:

If you do not have a Modbus/TCP device, the OPC Server includes simulation mode so no hardware devices are needed. Or, if you prefer to use a Modbus/TCP device, you can download Modbus/TCP Server software here:

Both can run on the same PC.
