system
 Input/output task
This program is the interface between the control and
monitoring system and the plant floor.
 Alarm task
This manages all alarms by detecting digital alarm points
and comparing the values of analog alarm points to alarm
thresholds.
 Trends task
The trends task collects data to be monitored over time.
 Reports task
Reports are produced from plant data. These reports can be
periodic, event triggered or activated by the operator.
 Display task
This manages all data to be monitored by the operator and
all control actions requested by the operator.

Click What
is OPC?
OPC is an industry standard created by a number of worldwide leading
hardware and software suppliers.
The OPC standard specifies an interface between client applications and
servers of process data.
The standard was purposely limited to the reading and writing of real-time
process values (Data Access – DA). Alarm handling, process events (A&E),
historical data access (HDA), … were all deferred to subsequent releases of the
standard.
An OPC compliant client can read and write data to any OPC compliant server.
