Automation Media's recommended most important key terminologies you need to know if you work in Automation, Controls, Brilliant Manufacturing, Operational & Industrial Intelligence or IoT etc. ; regardless of any vendor(s) you are dealing (Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, Siemens, Modicon, Mitsubishi, Omron, Automation Direct etc).


  • A data array is a set of contiguous data of the same data type with an arrangement of elements in one or more dimensions.

  • If the OPC server supports data arrays, then by configuring an item in OPC Client as a data array, you enable the OPC Client to read multiple values from an OPC server.
  • Reading multiple values with a single item simplifies the driver configuration and improves driver throughput.
