DataSocket communication with embedded FP2000 ?

Is it possible for a vi embedded in a FP2000 to communicate with an OPC server through, for exemple, datasocket ?
In fact, I want to read a channel of a FP1000 witch is connected to a computer with my embedded vi but it seems impossible to embed the DataSocket vi or the Tags with OPC ones...
Thanks for help.

You cannot access an OPC server from a non-Windows machine; this includes a FP-2000. The best suggestion I have is to create a VI for the host PC that reads the FP-1000 channels and writes them to the datasocket server. Then, the FP-2000 can read from and write to the datasocket server.
