Enforce Tag Level Security
Are their cases where you want OPC clients to only access some but not all
tags in the OPC Server? Every MatrikonOPC Server can restrict OPC clients to only enable access the
preconfigured tag database. This security feature is especially powerful when combined with the tag level
Read only feature.
