ipConvOPC The Windows-based Gateway Software ipConvOPC is a software package for Microsoft® Windows for universal communication between different standard protocols. ipConvOPC is based on ipConv and has basically comparable capabilities. In addition, the Windows platform dependent protocols OPC DA and OPC AE are optimally supported. Established standard protocols are available for the conversion, which can be used flexibly on your own Windows-based hardware. Protocol couplings without OPC protocols are common, as well. ipConvOPC also offers: • • • • • • • • • Suitable for virtual environments Security at the highest level (see Cyber Security) Communication between multiple data sources Simultaneous use of diverse protocols Intelligent information processing No programming required for configuration (see Configuration) Simple control unit connection Redundancy Optionally available with soft license REQUIREMENTS • Supported Operating Systems Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 Windows Server 2003 / 2008 (R2) / 2012 (R2) Windows Server 2016 • Minimum Hardware Requirements Required interfaces must be available (incl. installed drivers). FUNCTIONAL RANGE • Configuration Configuration and maintenance of the system is conducted through the integrated web interface, which provides central access to all settings and services. Microsoft® Excel templates are provided to simplify data point configuration. In addition, the web interface enables the import of files and updates, such as • • • Excel configuration spreadsheet (signal table) X.509 certificates License files • Data Processing • SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS • • • • • • • • • • • • • IEC 60870-5-104 IEC 60870-5-101 IEC 60870-5-103 IEC 61850 Modbus DNP 3.0 TASE.2 / ICCP SIMATIC fetch/write RP 570/571 Database client MQTT client REST E-mail client All data is broken down into individual information (single indications, measured values, counter values, etc.) and processed accordingly. A quality identifier and - if necessary - a time stamp is associated with each information item. Namespace and data model can be changed as desired. Powerful functions for data processing, such as type conversion, scaling, grouping, etc. Data reduction / regulation of bandwidth, required on secondary side, via update intervals, threshold values, old/new comparison, collective messages, selection of data points, etc. • Cyber Security • • • Further protocols on request! Secure access to all administrative services (HTTPS) Crypto Store for certificate management Creation of self-signed certificates and Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) Import and export of cer

ipConvOPC can also be used in a Windows guest system in a virtual machine such as Hyper-V, VirtualBox and VMware if the required interfaces are available and the USB dongle can be passed through accordingly. Optionally ipConvOPC is also available with a soft license, which does not require a dongle. To comply with even increased security requirements, ipConvOPC is fully capable of redundancy in combination with a second device. • • • Line redundancy (hot-standby) Information redundancy Device redundancy (parallel operation) With redundant protocol converters, reliability can be ensured,...
