OPC Hub and Spoke

Designed to solve many individual problems manufacturers are currently facing, including reliability, accuracy, maintainability and affordability of historizing process data

Guaranteed Data Delivery

OPC Hub and Spoke solution is designed to solve many individual problems manufacturers are currently facing, including reliability, accuracy, maintainability and affordability of historizing process data. OPC Hub and Spoke is a solution based on a number of individual OPC technologies to reliably transfer process and business data from remote locations to a central repository as well as securely trend and analyze your process data at the source location

Process Data must be accurate and accessible, yet secure. Having unreliable communication channels can severely impact your data integrity. Using OPC Hub and Spoke solution, process data can be securely collected and buffered at the data source, and then forwarded to the central historian when the communication is restored, guaranteeing the data delivery and integrity of your process data.

Based on OPC HDA, Historical Data Access is the OPC standard used to exchange archived data, process data can be easily exchanged between an application and any data-archive in a consistent manner. It also enables enterprise-wide interoperability as all applications can rely on a single industrial standard that is supported by all key vendors

Enabling Technologies

MatrikonOPC Tunneling Technology
MatrikonOPC HistoryLink
MatrikonOPC Buffer
MatrikonOPC Desktop Historian

Tunneling Technology

Matrikon OPC Tunneller provides an easy, reliable and effective way to communicate between networked computers. It does away with the headaches typically associated with the configuration of DCOM. No longer are different protocols, security settings or locations a factor when sharing data between computers. This is achieved by simply installing Matrikon OPC Tunneller on the OPC client and OPC server nodes. From that point it is only a matter of stipulating a computer name or IP address and the port setting

History Link

The MatrikonOPC HistoryLink is built upon the MatrikonOPC Tunnelling
technology. HistoryLink enables two OPC HDA capable process historians to share historical data. HistoryLink can move data on an ongoing schedule
(ScheduleLink), or be triggered via some process variable (MonitorLink).
Historical data management has never been easier. HistoryLink is also iC!
Enabled, thus remote configuration is possible

Buffer

MatrikonOPC 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. This product is great for engineers and project managers who need guaranteed data collection and delivery from geographically remote sites

Desktop Historian

For manufacturers that need to analyze process data, the MatrikonOPC Desktop Historian is an affordable, easy to install, easy to configure and easy to administer data archiving tool. Unlike enterprise process historians that are designed to manage the needs of the entire corporation, MatrikonOPC Desktop Historian, an operation process historian, focuses on data collection, not data presentation and processing
