Comment: UA5 is comprised of the Universal OPC Server (UOS) for Serial and TCP/IP Devices and the AD5.PRO device profile. The UA5 mnemonic is used to identify this unique combination. UOS will also support many other serial or TCP/IP device profiles. Please refer to our web site for the current list.
UOS is a stand-alone OPC Server that can be used with any OPC compliant Client such as Intellution’s FIX® or FIX Dynamics® or OA’s Enterprise Automation software. UOS has many advanced features like: DataView, DataScope, Serial and TCP/IP communications support, and multiple "different" device support. Please refer to our web site for more information on UOS capabilities.
