Ping OPC Server

The Ping driver is part of the iSNMP OPC Server Suite because not all Ethernet network devices are SNMP managed. To help monitor any system from within your HMI, the Ping driver automatically generates OPC tags for each unmanaged device defined. These "heartbeat" and "response time" tags provide a standardized and reliable way to monitor all devices in the Ethernet network.

Plug-in Driver Features:
The Ping Device Driver is provided for monitoring your network devices via the ICMP protocol (Ping). The Ping driver was designed specifically for use with 32 bit OPC Server products. The Ping driver provides the ability to monitor the Status of a network device, and the time that it takes for the ICMP message to reach its destination and return a response, the RoundTripTime.

Supported Devices:
Any device (IP or Host address) that can communicate via TCP/IP
