Install OPC Factory Server

Plant SCADA allows you to install a copy of Schneider Electric's OPC Factory Server.

Based on the OPC protocol, OPC Factory Server enables Windows-based OPC client applications to communicate with the following Schneider Electric PLCs:

• TSX Compact

• Micro

• TSX Momentum

• TSX/PCX Premium

• Quantum

• M340

• TSX Series 7

• TSX S1000.

  Note: A Plant SCADA server license includes an OFS license. This means you need to install Plant SCADA before you install OPC Factory Server so it can be licensed using the Plant SCADA license. This will allow the correct part and serial number combination to be registered.

OPC Factory Server can be installed on the following operating systems (64-bit only):

• Windows® Server 2022

• Windows® Server 2019

• Windows® Server 2016

• Windows 11 21H2 (or later)
