Manual Datasheet
Storing process data in the field
It has now become easier to store process data either on-site or while in operation.

What Is It?

Matrikon OPC Buffer is a ready-made tool for gathering remote data, buffering it, and with the optional History-Link module, sending historical data to a central process historian. It uses an internal buffer that can be set to store specific amounts of data, overwriting older entries when full. The data is collected by an OPC Client and shared through an OPC Server with any client that needs it.

Matrikon OPC Buffer is perfect for engineers and project managers who require reliable data collection and delivery from remote locations. This adaptable system allows users to store process data either on-site or while in real-time operation. It’s a simple “store and forward” solution that transfers data from any OPC-enabled system to any historian. Unlike other remote data collection tools, it lets users view trends and analyze data directly at the source for quick troubleshooting, without needing access to the main historian. The system can be set up remotely using a wireless or Ethernet connection.

How Does It Work?
Matrikon OPC Buffer with History Link can be easily connected in sequence, creating a fast and reliable data structure with built-in redundancy. This setup is ideal for remote or isolated operational locations that aren’t connected to the main historian network.
