OPC Command

URL:      www.opcfoundation.org

This specification describes interfaces which are implemented by any OPC Servers (e.g. Data Access, Alarm & Event, Batch) with a need for commands, and which provide the mechanisms for OPC Clients to be notified of the occurrence of specified command state and result information. These interfaces also provide services that allow OPC Clients to determine the commands supported.

The basis for the execution of an OPC command is the Finite State Machine (FSM). The FSM is an object that precisely describes the behavior of the command in terms of states, transitions, transition conditions, events, and actions. This provides the mechanism to convey information about the method and sequence of the command’s execution. The FSM includes the triggering stimulus and resulting actions related to each state transition within the process as well as status and error data associated with resultant states.
