[edit] OPC
OPC (originally OLE for process control) is an industry standard created with the
collaboration of a number of leading worldwide automation hardware and software
suppliers, working in cooperation with Microsoft. The standard defines methods for
exchanging realtime automation data between PC-based clients using Microsoft operating
systems. The organization that manages this standard is the OPC Foundation.
An OPC Server is often referred to as an OPC Driver. The two terms are synonymous.
