Fatek OPC Server User ManualFatek OPC Server User’s Manual1. OverviewOPC Server is a standard software application and is widely used in field applications.The Fatek OPC Server is the classic OPC server for connecting to the FBs/B1z PLCseries from FATEK. It is based on Fatek communication protocol, and includes serial(FatekSerialOPC) and ethernet (FatekNetOPC) servers for different communicationinterface of PLC. SCADA and customize applications with OPC client can directly accessthe registers of PLC through Fatek OPC Servers.Figure 1: Fatek OPC Server System StructureFATEK Automation Corporation6
Fatek OPC Server User ManualKey features of the Fatek OPC Server include: Supports OPC Data Access (DA) and OPC Alarm and Event (AE)specifications. Supports engineering data conversion to client’s request. Supports value simulation for all data items. Supports multiplier to create tags quickly. Tags can be grouped in logical folders. Remote tag browsing and access from OPC Client. Supports read and write Fatek PLC registers. User could define high/low Alarm and digital alarm condition. Easy to monitor the values of PLC registers after configuring the tags.2.

Fatek OPC Server User ManualATTENTION:There are two application included in each Fatek OPC Server: Fatek OPC Configurator Run-Time OPC ServerBefore connecting with Fatek OPC Server by using SCADA or OPC Client, please launchthe Fatek OPC Configurator to off-line configure the database(*.mdb) for Run-Time OPCServer first. Then “Active” (5.1.4) the mdb file after setting and close the configuratortool.Run-Time OPC Server is registered on Windows System after installation. When OPCClient connects with the server, user does not need to launch the configurator. Run-TimeOPC Server will launch automatically, and access the register data of PLC according tothe Active mdb database.After installation, please open the Fatek OPC Configurator from the Windows StartMenu Fatek PLC FatekSerialOPC Configurtor (or FatekNetOPC Configurator).The License Info Dialog will show first if the legal License Key (*.flk) is not installed.Click “Trail” button, user could evaluate the trial version directly to test without theLicense Key. The License Key is generated by Fatek, and it is according to the machineregistration file (*.frk) from the PC device which Fatek OPC server will run on.If you have purchased the product, please generate the machine registration file first.Then email the file to Fatek for requesting the License Key.
