Using ERP-Scale to access weighing equipment using SAP ODA

SAP ODA is designed to provide an interface to equipment used in the manufacturing process. Its main use is in Manufacturing cockpits and PI-sheets.

From release V3.0.7, ERP-Scale provides an interface to SAP ODA, without the need to install the SAP OPC-OPA connector on your PC.

ERP-Scale V3.0.7 also supports data subscriptions in SAP ODA allowing a function in SAP to be triggered automatically from ERP-Scale when data is received from the device.

This document from SAP gives an overview of the SAP ODA functionality and how it can be used from PI-sheets.
