If you need OPC Client on I/A Side there are a few options: 1: Add an AW70 to the current system. The AW70 integrator will run a contyrol database (CP like) and runs the OPC I/O Gate package which basically is the OPC Client. This would be the cheapest solution I think. 2: Another appoach would e to extend the system with a Mesh section and AW70 (which is required as a host of the also required ATS), in addition to this you will need a FCP270 with an OPC FBM, very nice and a good start if you are thinking of migrating to Mesh in the near future anyway. Both options require moving your CSA to the highest "software running platform" which would be the AW70. We have done this in the past and have done so without any problems.
