OPC Server for Johnson Controls N2

With the new OPC Server for Johnson Controls N2, users with smaller HVAC networks are now able to supervise and historize using proven process control HMIs and Historians. In the past, users would have had to purchase and configure an NCM; now they can directly connect to their N2 based devices without the additional hassle and expense.
 
Features and Benefits:
  • Auto-discovery and auto configure for all connected N2 devices
  • Supports all data points within the N2 device
  • Enables direct communication with N2 network (NCM not required)

Question:I need to move data between RSLinx and an Opto22 device. How can I make this connection?

 -Trapped in Texas

Answer (Sean Leonard, VP MatrikonOPC):
These days, most process control applications already come with OPC Servers. From your example, both RSLinx and Opto22 have OPC servers available. But OPC Servers can’t natively talk to each other; they can only talk to clients.

So to move data between two different OPC Servers, you need a "double-headed OPC client" to move the data. In this case, MatrikonOPC’s Data Manager would do the trick. It is a stand alone service that moves tag data between OPC servers.

Solve your problem now!
