Does DeltaV run as its own Windows service?

The DeltaV OPC Server does NOT run as it's own Windows Service. As in, if you type services.msc and go hunting through that list, you won't find anything that resembles the OPC server. But if you type taskmgr and look through the programs that are running, you'll see FrsOpcDv.exe. That, right there, is the DeltaV OPC Server.

What is the pre-configured account for DeltaV?

The one that's pre-configured is called, "DeltaVAdmin." This account has to exist on the DeltaV App Station as well as the PROPLUS for the data to get sent. What's crazier is that DeltaV is hard-coded to block anonymous access, which means your OPC client must be running as DeltaVAdmin (or equivalent).

How do I connect to DeltaV OPC Server?

DeltaV Remote Access Options

I have a quick question related to remote access to DeltaV Systems. Are there any third party applications outside of, for instance, DeltaV Remote Access Server or DeltaV Remote Clients, that are approved/preferred by Emerson for remote access and control of DeltaV Systems. For instance applications such as Real VNC or Dameware.

Hi, VNC and dameware are not supported in DeltaV. The only remote access software that was allowed/tested on DeltaV stations is pcanywhere. Any other third party software will not be supported. Also be informed that installing untested software may cause some files (e.g. dll files) to be overwritten and cause unexpected behavior on the system.

What is an OPC remote?

OPC Remote refers to the software you need to install on the OPC Client to be able to talk to DeltaV OPC. I found this strange because when I was the PI OPC Interface to a KEPServerEX, OSI provided all the software for the OPC client and Kepware provided all the software for the OPC server.

Can you use DeltaV as an OPC?

What's crazier is that DeltaV is hard-coded to block anonymous access, which means your OPC client must be running as DeltaVAdmin (or equivalent).

This is basically your only option to getting it to work: you cannot use the local SYSTEM account.
