OPC KeepWare Server
This section describes the configuration and setup of an OPC server that connects to Omron and Siemens PLCs via their various interfaces (except for ProfiBus, for which there is no driver available on the PC). This server will be used in cases where a direct connection between a SCADA system and a certain type of PLC is not available.

Motors can account for more than two-thirds of the energy consumption on a factory's production line. Therefore, it is crucial for the factory's bottom line that the operation of equipment incorporating motors is optimized to reduce energy consumption. The use of variable speed drives (VSDs) in systems incorporating motors has yielded significant efficiencies directly related to energy savings, but it requires complex control algorithms.
