SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo) enables you to easily set up a connection between applications of the SAP Business Suite with external data sources such as weighing systems, production machines, OPC servers or process control systems. The data exchange between the external data sources and PCo is carried out using PCo agents and agent instances.

SAP PCo允许我们将SAP Business Suite同第三方数据源进行连接，这些数据源包括物理的生产及，称重系统，或者流程控制系统等等。具体通信通过PCo agent和agent实例完成。

1. An agent is a NET-DLL Assembly component that can set up a connection between a data source and PCo.

2.An agent instance is a user-defined configuration of an agent that enables the data flow

目前能和PCo连接的SAP解决方案有SAP ME，SAP EWM等等。

Until recently, only the SAP applications SAP Manufacturing Intelligence and Integration (SAP MII), SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME) and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) were able to use the options provided by SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo). For applications of the SAP Business Suite, the corresponding PCo functionality was not available until now.

Business Suite应用同PCo Agent的通信是通过RFC来完成。

PCo需要Microsoft .Net-Framework4.0环境的安装。
