I'm always game for free advice. Application tunneling always makes life =
easier. But, it's kind of perverse when you have many workstations that =
expect to use the benefits of named OPC object access sourced from all =
kinds of devices, and you need to load the client apps for all the =
devices on every workstation. It's akin to telling Internet users that =
they can display any webpage as long as they have ActiveX loaded.

Barring any DCOM issues, 3 or 4 NIC cards shouldn't present a problem =
... I think. No?

Free advice?

Put the AIM*OPC DA Server on the client machines and use NetAIM*API to
connect to the source AW (AW70 or AW51). This is equivalent to =
Matrikon's
"OPC Tunnelling".

Why do it?

Easy - the setup is much simpler - no DCOM.

Worth the time and money, I promise.

I am planning an AIM OPC Server to serve data to two separate networks. =

The box will have 3 NIC cards; 1 for I/A, and one each fro each IT =3D
network. Are there any special AIM restrictions? Network addressing or =

network connection issues? Has anybody done this? Thanks.
