The ODM is a software application that transfers data from one OPC server to another, making it ideal for sharing data between different control systems, such as a PLC and a DCS. This connectivity is achieved using standard, off-the-shelf software. Traditionally, complex and costly wiring was required to connect control systems for data transfer. OPC simplifies this by eliminating proprietary communication issues, making data sharing between different vendor systems more straightforward. ODM facilitates this by allowing real-time, historical, and Alarm & Events data sharing in a secure and reliable manner. Its intuitive interface makes mapping data quick and easy |
| While OPC servers are common for major systems, they typically operate as either OPC clients or servers. When both applications are servers, they cannot directly exchange data because they cannot initiate requests. ODM addresses this by acting as a "double-headed" OPC client to both servers, requesting data from one and sending it to the other |
Seamless OPC Server Linking with ODM!
Easily transfer real-time, historical, and Alarm & Events data between control systems without complex wiring. Ensure secure, reliable connectivity with our user-friendly software. Ready to streamline your data integration? Try ODM today!Standard OPC only supports communication between OPC servers and clients. When data needs to be transferred between OPC servers or clients, standard OPC falls short. Matrikon OPC Data Manager provides a solution by linking OPC-compliant servers, allowing data to be mirrored from one server to another.

Bridging OPC Servers
OPC servers are available for all major systems. ODM solves the problem of data exchange between two OPC servers, which typically cannot communicate directly. By acting as a "double-headed" OPC client, ODM enables data requests from one server and immediate transmission to another.
