Input/output task This program is the interface between the control and monitoring system and the plant floor. Alarm task This manages all alarms by detecting digital alarm points and comparing the values of analog alarm points to alarm thresholds. Trends task The trends task collects data to be monitored over time. Reports task Reports are produced from plant data. These reports can be periodic, event triggered or activated by the operator. Display task This manages all data to be monitored by the operator and all control actions requested by the operator.

OPC is an industry standard created by a number of worldwide leading hardware and software suppliers. The OPC standard specifies an interface between client applications and servers of process data. The standard was purposely limited to the reading and writing of real-time process values (Data Access DA). Alarm handling, process events (A&E), historical data access (HDA), were all deferred to subsequent releases of the standard. An OPC compliant client can read and write data to any OPC compliant server.
