Matrikon announces that it has
developed the OPCLink Module on behalf of
Environmental
Systems Corporation (ESC) for their E-DAS Expert and E-DAS EMR software
packages. ESC is the largest supplier of 40CFR75 data acquisition and handling
systems (DAHS).
Matrikon developed the
interface in partnership with ESC. Matrikon is a founding member of the OPC
Foundation. As the world's leading supplier of OPC products, Matrikon provides
open connectivity to every major device on the market and continues to influence
OPC technology trends. Matrikon’s products are the culmination of their
experience with the latest object oriented design techniques, the Microsoft
Platform, and over a decade of experience in the design and implementation of
device specific communication drivers. To date, Matrikon had developed over 500
interfaces to meet the demands of today’s process control industry.
The E-DAS OPCLink is a full OPC server that surpasses DA/HDA
standards and the capabilities of most OPC interfaces. Functional capabilities
include:
- Read/write data access (with write protection
capability)
- Synchronous / Asynchronous data transfer
Communication with any OPC DA/HDA compliant
client
ODBC interface through OPC-ODBC Client Module,
for transfer to Oracle,
SQL Server, Sybase, etc.
Historical data capability to manage data changes
due to editing, data substitution, fuel analysis, or other retroactive actions
that affect historical data values
Remote control of status points and calibration
control sequences
Multiple E-DAS servers can use a single OPC
Client
This interface can be used to
build corporate-level allowance tracking applications, data interchange with any
OPC DA/HDA compliant DCS or historian, and remote "dashboard" controls for CEM
networks from enterprise-level to plant level.
Other possibilities include
mass distribution of data to corporate clients, to the CEO's PDA for tabular
display, reporting, and trending, to corporate web services. Make data
available to many common spreadsheet applications; write data to third party
hardware (PLCs, Opto22, etc.) for re-transmitting in remote control
applications…etc.
OPCLink is backed by ESC's
reputation as the #1 vendor for software quality, capabilities, and customer
service. Contact ESC to see how OPCLink can improve your data flow and
processes.
