Special Device Integration solutions (Vacuum Pump)
Project Introduction:
There are so many process control equipments in the semiconductor or TFT or electronic factories. They are vacuum pump、Scrubber、power meter、Gas detector .. etc. Most of the devices provide the special protocol. In this case, we got to integrate all of the vacuum pumps. My customer needs to know the status of all of the pumps and show the alerts for the operators. Besides, we got to collect all the data in the pumps every second and save into the database. The communication signals are more than 10,000 tags. Real time trend and the historical trend are also a necessary function in these cases. There are more than ten factories uses our system.

Conclusions:
Vacuum pump is one of the importance equipment for the semiconductor or TFT or electronic factories. Most of the devices in the automation fields povide the special protocols. The vacuum pump is a very good example. We designed the OPC Server for the vacuum pump and serve for the SCADA and RDB system. OPC Server solve all of the communication affairs. Through the OPC Server, we could use VB and C# to help SCADA and RDB doing what the SCADA can not do.
Power Meter monitoring System
Project Introduction:
Our partner ABB corporation want to use their SCADA named Industry IT to integrate the power meters. The protocol of power meter go through standard Modbus protocol. The Industry IT provides the OPC interface for integration. So we use OPCTechs Modbus OPC server to integrate power meters with ABB SCADA. Besides, the cabling engineering works are not so easy. We got to use the isolation N-Port devices to get the signals through RS485 communication and convert to Ethernet signals.

Conclusions:
There are so many famous SCADA in the world. They can not support all of the device driver. For example, Allen Bradley RSView32, GE Cimplecity, ABB Industry IT, Siemens WinCC, Honeywell EBI or Plantscape …etc. They all support their own device drivers. But they do not support the rest of the devices drivers. But they all provide the OPC client interfaces. It’s easy and convenient to combine them with the OPC server.
Water Leakage Detector Monitor System in Semi-conductor Factory
Project Introduction:
The water leakage detectors are very important equipments in the semi-conductor factory. Especially in the clean room, water detectors are so important for the process. Therefore, the factory will install a lot of water detectors and they need to be monitored. The host of the water detector goes the Modbus protocol. If it generates the alerts, the system should inform the operator to mange it.

Conclusions:
With SCADA and OPC server, you can build the automation software easy and efficiency.
Semi-conductor Integration System
Project Introduction:
In the semi-conductor factories, there are so many equipments should be monitored. In this case, we got to integrate more than 15 Mitsubishi PLC and Omron PLC and the poison gas equipment which called UP100. The SCADA system is Honeywell EBI (Enterprise Building Integrator). In this case, we got to design the UP-100 OPC Server.
System Requirement:
System Diagram:
Conclusions:
In the high technology factories, there are so many equipments should be integrated. In the central control room, the operators could watch the screen of the SCADA and understand all of the status of the equipments. It’s impossible for the SCADA to support all of the drivers. This is why we need our customers provided the device communication protocol to us and design the OPC server for integration. OPC server becomes a powerful middleware to integrate SCADA and programming language.
Environment Monitoring System in the TFT Factory
Project Introduction:
In Taiwan, nearly all of the high technology factories owned the air pollution equipments in side. They got to collect the pollutant resource such as NOx, SO2, particles ..etc. We use Factory Suite 4.0 to be the SCADA and OPCTechs Modbus OPC Server to be the communication driver. We design the humanity pictures for my customers and we generate the report for analyzing. Besides, the network was established in the factory. The staff could use Google Chrome browser to see the same figures as Server PC.
System Requirement:

Conclusions:
By different kind of the specifications of the cases, we will use the proper SCADA for our customers. We always presented the stable SCADA server and the IE browser for the client side. The client PC could see the same figures as the server PC. Advantech Studio provide the stable SCADA and the free web client side. These are the reasons why we choose Studio to be the best SCADA as our choice. Besides, nearly all of the SCADA do not have the useful report module. We system integrator should use more than five SCADA for the different kind of customers. The report modules are different and nobody will spend time to learn all. These is why we use OPC Server to link with SCADA and our report module which designed by VB programming language.
Central Monitoring in IT Factory
Project Introduction:
There are lots of production lines in the clean rooms of IT factory. Through OPC Server, Cell Process Engineer could easily handle producing problems in the central monitoring space. Besides, for MIS department, data collection could become piece of cake. Through OPC Client, engineer could obtain all the statistics, operating trend and historical data in Access Database format.
System Requirement:

Conclusions:
The performance of SCADA is limited. Therefore, integrating all the available recourses would be a key point for successful business. The case above shows an excellent template for integrating OPC Server, SCADA and MIS together to conquer challenges. This is what OPCTechs do! We provide precise software integration solutions for our customers.
Case for Integrating Power Meters
Project Introduction:
Usually, there will be a great deal of different brand of power meters (such as Schneider-Square D Power Meter, Sepam2000 Power Meter, AB PM3000 Power Meter, Kato Power Meter, I-7300 Power Meter ) and power relay in a technology plant. In order to execute a full-size monitoring to the production line, OPCTechs OPC Server is able to obtain timely information from the power meters with Modbus serial port.
Avoiding outside interruption influences fierce electricity flow, N-Port and special cable are must. Users can connect all the power meters together through RS485 port, then define different name for each device. It will help to save part of cost on N-Port.

Conclusions:
OPCTechs OPC Server support part of popular devices, such as all series of Melsec PLC, Omron PLC and AB PLC. Moreover, we also provide well organized structure of OPC Server and Client, so all the monitoring program and self-developed program could be integrated with each other easily. Time for developing Driver program could be saved.
Case for Machines Integration and Monitoring
Project Introduction:
In a DVD producing plant, in order to control the productivity and goods’ quality, DVD providers have to know the productivity and alarm messages of each machine in detail. After installing communication module into PLC, engineers could monitor each instrument through Factory Suite 4.0 (SCADA). Moreover, with the help of OPCTechs Modbus OPC Server, timely data from all the Schneider Modicon series PLC is available, so it is possible for the users to acquire data from Net and control machines through IE Browser improving the affectivity.
