Manual Datasheet

Matrikon OPC Security Gateway

Secures real time OPC architectures
Unlike traditional OPC security that relies only on DCOM, this gateway gives precise control over who can access, read, write, or browse tags in any OPC DA server, all on a per-user, per-tag basis. It’s fully compliant with the OPC Security standards, ensuring wide compatibility.

The Matrikon OPC Security Gateway consists of two main parts:
1 - The MatrikonOPC Security Gateway Server
2 - The Matrikon OPC Tunneller

This server sits between OPC clients and servers, including both Classic and UA clients. It can manage access restrictions, optimize performance, and connect multiple OPC servers through a single gateway, making it easier for clients to interact with multiple systems. The gateway also supports all vendor-compliant OPC DA servers, addressing security weaknesses in real-time OPC systems and making your setup a secure part of your defense strategy. New features include support for HDA servers, allowing secure access to historical data and handling large data requests without straining server performance. It also offers reconnection mechanisms to ensure reliable data retrieval even in case of failures.

Key features include:
Complete security for OPC architectures
Hides OPC servers from unauthorized users
Role-based security enforcement
Compatibility with all OPC DA clients and servers
Built-in support for Matrikon OPC Tunneller
Granular access control
No need to take systems offline for implementation
MatrikonOPC Security Gateway works with all vendor-compliant OPC DA servers to close security gaps in real-time OPC systems. It quickly turns any OPC architecture from a potential security risk into a key part of your overall defense strategy.
