Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker

Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker for High Availability and Reliable Backup Server Switching

What is Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker?

Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker is an industrial software solution that provides automatic OPC server failover, ensuring uninterrupted communication between OPC clients and OPC servers.

In traditional industrial systems, if an OPC server becomes unavailable due to hardware failure, network disruption, or system maintenance, communication interruptions can impact production and monitoring systems. Redundancy Broker addresses this challenge by automatically redirecting communication to a secondary or backup OPC server without manual intervention. Communication failures can lead to costly downtime, operational disruptions, and reduced productivity.

Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker helps organizations maintain continuous industrial communication by automatically switching to backup OPC servers whenever the primary server becomes unavailable. Designed for mission-critical operations, Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker ensures uninterrupted access to industrial data, helping organizations improve system reliability, minimize downtime, and maintain operational continuity across industrial automation environments. This ensures industrial systems continue operating smoothly while minimizing disruptions and data loss. At EMI, we help organizations across the Middle East, Africa, and GCC implement high-availability OPC solutions that improve resilience, performance, and operational reliability.

OPC Alarms and Events Functionality The OPC Redundancy Broker now supports OPC Alarms and Events (OPC AandE), which is ideal for solutions that require a very reliable Event Sequence ( SOE). No other product on the market offers a powerful, industry-leading solution for OPC servers like the MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker.


Ease of Implementation ORB is compatible with all OPC Client software and automates setup and troubleshooting tasks. This makes it possible to set up a light and easy add-on system without the need for programming.


Easy integration ORB makes updating your OPC setup easy. By adding a standby OPC server, ORB enables all client software to benefit from an advanced system without manual intervention.


Increase data for safety systems Matrikon OPC Redundancy Agent is ideal for improving the performance of plant safety systems. For example, combining its reliability with Triconex security systems creates a powerful solution. These settings allow OPC A&E client applications, such as MatrikonOPC A&E Historian, to increase the availability of Sequence of Events (SOE) data. Users can easily install triple Triconex redundancy and OPC DA/A&E all out of the box!

Ensure uninterrupted data delivery with MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker

Easily set up redundant OPC Server systems to eliminate single points of failure and maintain reliable communications. Protect your critical applications from data loss and downtime—implement OPC Redundancy Broker today for seamless operation and peace of mind!

OPC Redundancy Broker constantly monitors a Primary OPC server that is designated by the user. When a failure is detected, OPC Redundancy Broker automatically redirects communications to a Standby OPC server. By intelligently switching between the primary and standby OPC Servers – OPC Redundancy Broker prevents data loss and downtime in the event one of the OPC Servers fails.

Types of Redundancy

Hot: ORB subscribes to and activates tags on both the primary and standby servers. This minimizes data gaps during failover because both servers continuously receive the same data updates.

Warm: ORB subscribes to tags on both servers but only activates them on the primary server. If a failover happens, tags are activated on the standby server. This mode is useful when having both servers active simultaneously isn’t practical.

Cool: ORB subscribes to the main server and activates tokens. If that fails, it switches to the standby server and activates the tags there. This is useful for situations where connections to the data source are limited, such as serial connections.
