Manual Datasheet

Storing process data in the field or on the fly just got easier

What Is It?

Matrikon OPC Buffer is an off-the-shelf solution for remote data collection, buffering, and with the optional History-Link module, historical data transfer to a central process historian. The historian employs a rolling internal buffer so that it can store configurable amounts of data internally and then over-write the oldest data when the buffer length is full. An OPC Client is used to collect data, and an OPC Server distributes the information to any client that may require it.

Matrikon OPC Buffer is ideal for engineers and project managers who need guaranteed data collection and delivery from geographically remote sites. The flexible historian enables users to store process data in the field or on the fly. It is an easy-to-integrate “store and forward” solution that moves data from any OPC-enabled system to any historian.

Unlike other remote data collection applications, it allows users to trend and view data at the source for on-the-spot troubleshooting and data analysis without the inconvenience of access to the enterprise historian. The historian can be configured remotely via wireless or Ethernet network

How Does It Work?

Matrikon OPC Buffer with History Link can be seamlessly paired in series to provide a quick and easy, field-redundant data architecture. This makes it perfect for operational sites that are remote or isolated from the main historical network
