MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker offers a seamless software solution that implements driver level
redundancy with OPC Alarms & Events functionality.
The MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker (ORB) enables easy implementation of
redundancy in systems that take advantage of OPC technology. ORB is designed for
OPC applications that must use redundant hardware and/or software to achieve the
highest degree of communication reliability. ORB can even be retrofitted to
current systems since ORB functions with any OPC server, regardless of vendor.

Support for multiple, same server, redundant pairs
Support for OPC DA and OPC A&E
Status tags enable you to track which OPC Servers are down
Multiple levels of redundancy
Full support for MatrikonOPC Tunneller
Powerful event engine integration (trigger on item deviation,
threshold, rate of
change, quality, etc.)
Now true bumpless failover enables ORB to beat DCOM timeouts
ORB constantly monitors the Primary OPC server. When a failure is detected,
it automatically redirects communication to the Standby OPC server. No data is
lost and there is no system downtime.
OPC Alarms & Events Functionality
ORB now supports the OPC Alarms & Events (OPC A&E) specification.
This increased functionality is designed for solutions that require highly
available sequence of event (SOE) data. There is no other product on the
market today that provides users with industrial strength OPC server level
redundancy like MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker.
Increase the availability of Safety Systems Data
There are countless scenarios where Matrikon OPC Redundancy Broker can be
effectively used to enhance the performance of plant safety systems. One
such example is to combine the proven reliability of OPC Redundancy
technology to create a robust solution for interfacing with Triconex safety
systems. This solution provides OPC A&E client applications
(i.e.
MatrikonOPC A&E Historian) with the ability to increase the
availability of Sequence of Event (SOE) data. Users can now easily combine
Triconex’s famous triple redundancy with full OPC DA/A&E redundancy right out of the box!
Easy Implementation
ORB works with any OPC Client software. It handles all configuration
and fail-over issues automatically! ORB enables easy implementation of a
transparent, redundant environment with no programming required.
Seamless Integration
ORB can be used to seamlessly upgrade an existing OPC infrastructure.
Once a standby OPC Server is added, ORB will automatically enable all
the client software to quickly make use of the reinforced system.
Connection
ORB makes implementing redundancy easier than ever! The user interface
allows for such easy configuration that the existing OPC architecture can
be made redundant in a matter of seconds. No programming and no hassles!
Watchdog Tags
Watchdog Tags can be configured to trigger a fail-over.
Diagnostics
ORB automatically handles fail-overs, but it can also provide notification
by various configurable methods!
Statistics
View the state of all running ORBs on your site. The easy-to-read display
broadcasts the state of each ORB with intuitive Windows-style icons.
