Use SIMATIC Computing across a DCOM Network
Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a set of program
interfaces in which client program objects can request services from server
program objects on other computers in a network.
In WinAC, you can connect distributed applications across a network using DCOM
(refer to Figure 1-10). A distributed application consists of multiple processes or
different computers that cooperate to accomplish a single task jointly.
