CENTUM VP/CS 3000/CS 1000/CS System Conguration
- Exaopc is directly connected to the DCS control buses using the VF702/VF701 Control Bus Interface Card to
communicate with control stations. This provides Exaopc with the ability to read and write tag data and receive
process messages.
- Exaopc automatically equalizes engineering data from the CENTUM ENG/EWS Engineering Station.
- Multiple Exaopc servers can be connected to one CENTUM system. Those servers are counted as control bus
stations equivalent to HIS/ICS on the system.
- Please congure the entire system considering the CPU loading of the control stations and the bus loads of the
control buses.
- Exaopc for VP Batch and CS Batch 3000 can be connected to VP Batch and CS Batch 3000 packages.
- Connection to CENTUM VP Entry Class and CS 3000 Entry Class is similar to that of CENTUM VP/CS 3000.

When OPC client program that accesses Exaopc DA/A&E/HDA Server is congured with the VB application, it
is recommended to use the Exaopc Client Library of Yokogawa Solutions Corporation (model: NTPT900) for VB
programmer. The Library provides OPC connection functionality with the ActiveX component.
The recent versions for Exaopc R3.10 or later will support VB.NET development environment.
When OPC client program accesses Exaopc A&E server R3.10 or later using NTPT900, use the new version of
NTPT900 supporting Exaopc R3.10 for revision compatibility.

Limitation on coexistence of Solution-based Package (SBP)
It is called coexistent when one or more SBP products and the Exaopc are installed on a single PC.
The applicable combination of a server and client(s) for Exaopc and other SBP products are as shown below.
The release number of the other SBP products are the latest once at the release of Exaopc R3.60.
Case2: Basically all the SBP products can coexistent with Exaopc. In case Exaopc client is resided with
Exasmoc and Exarque clients in one PC with their IT Security levels are set as standard or
strengthened types, it requires special attention for installation.
For details, please contact Yokogawa.
[ Limitation ]
- When Exaopc R3.60 resides with other SBP products, all the IT Security models must be identical.
- When Exaopc R3.60 resides with other SBP products without IT Security level setting function, set Exaopcs IT
Security as Legacy model.
- Exaquantum/Batch server and Exaopc R3.60 cannot coexist.
- Exaquantum open interface (NTPP007) and Exaopc R3.60 cannot coexist.
- When Exacuantum has a multi-server conguration, Exaquantum server and Exaopc R3.60 cannot coexist.
Document Browser
- Adobe Reader 9.3
Note: It is necessary to install Adobe Reader to read document of Exaopc.

SUPPORTED OPC SPECIFICATIONS
The Exaopc R3.60 package provides the OPC client with an interface with the following specications:
DA Server
- OPC Data Access Custom Interface Specication Version 2.05a/3.0
- OPC Data Access Automation Specication Version 2.0
- OPC Security Custom Interface Specication Version 1.0
A&E Server
- OPC Alarms and Events Version 1.10 (Exaopc R3.10 or later) (*1)

- OPC Security Custom Interface Specication Version 1.0
*1: OPC Alarms and Events Version 1.0 had been supported by Exaopc R3.01.50 or earlier.
The specication range of the severity for the SetFilter method is changed from 0 to 1000 (A&E1.0) to 1 to 1000
(A&E1.10).
When severity=0 value is set for the SetFilter method to Exaopc A&E1.10 OPC server, an error code will be returned by
Exaopc because it is out of range.
Be sure to use A&E version compatible with both Exaopc and an OPC client accordingly.
HDA Server
- OPC Historical Data Access Custom Interface Version 1.2
- OPC Historical Data Access Automation Interface Version 1.0 (draft)
Batch Server
- OPC Batch Custom Interface Specication Version 1.0
- OPC Batch Automation Specication Version 1.0
- OPC Security Custom Interface Specication Version 1.0
