CTCopc™ Server Software
CTCopc™ Server Software is an OPC-compliant server application developed by Control Technology Corporation (CTC). It provides high-speed data interchange between OPC clients and CTC programmable automation controllers, such as the Blue Fusion series. Designed for industrial automation environments, CTCopc enables seamless communication between factory-floor devices and enterprise-level applications using standard OPC DA protocols.
CTCopc conforms to OPC DA 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 specifications, offering real-time read/write access to all controller resources—including registers, digital I/O, analogue I/O, and flags. The server supports simultaneous connections to multiple CTC controllers with no tag limits, and its familiar explorer-style interface makes setup and maintenance quick and intuitive.
By leveraging OPC standards, CTCopc eliminates the need for proprietary APIs and vendor-specific drivers, simplifying integration with SCADA, HMI, and data historian platforms such as Wonderware, Ignition, and FactoryTalk.
