Excel OPC Server

Excel OPC Server is a software that allows communication between Microsoft Excel and the OPC (OLE for Process Control) server, enabling data exchange and automation between Excel spreadsheets and industrial control systems.

OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a set of standards developed by the OPC Foundation to facilitate interoperability between applications, devices, and systems within the industrial automation and process control domains.

With Excel OPC Server, you can read data from an OPC server directly into Microsoft Excel, write data from Excel to an OPC server, monitor real-time values, log data, perform calculations, generate reports, and automate processes using Excel's powerful features.

Excel OPC Server acts as a bridge between OPC servers and Microsoft Excel. It establishes a connection with the OPC server using the appropriate protocol, retrieves data from the server, and populates it in Excel cells. It also allows writing data from Excel to the server by sending appropriate commands over the established connection.
