Whether you are gradually replacing equipment that is reaching end-of-life or investing in new technology during an expansion project  the goal is the same: to minimize the inherent disruption migrations can cause. <br><br> The answer is OPC Data Manager - an advanced yet easy to use OPC Server-to-OPC Server mapping application. This powerful OPC tool lets users directly controlling what data is moved between all of their OPC Servers. <br><br> <a href="http://www.matrikonopc.com/products/opc-data-management/opc-data-manager.aspx?utm_campaign=Blast&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=EN-Marcom-Connections-ODM-06-01-2010" ClickThruID="7" IncrementField="Click_Through_7" target="_blank"> Click here to learn more!</a> </div><br> <a name="2"></a> <div id="newsletter_subtitle">Connect with an Expert - Control Data Access</div> <div id="textnormal"> <b>Question:</b><br><br> How can I share my DeltaV system data with Mark V Turbine system and vice versa? I need to transfer real-time data as well as Alarms data generated from the Mark V Turbine to DeltaV and vice versa to link the power generation section of my plant to the operations sections. What do I need to do? <br><br> <i>Unconnected in California</i><br><br> <b>Answer (Sean Leonard, VP of OPC):</b><br> Dear Unconnected:<br>This is a common challenge in today s Automation world. Traditionally hard wires connected both inputs and outputs of control systems to transfer such data. This made data sharing complex to setup properly and expensive to maintain. <br><br> OPC is well suited to sharing data between different vendors systems because it eliminates connectivity problems caused by proprietary communications. The easiest way to connect two OPC Servers (one for each device) is to use OPC Data Manager. <br><br> OPC Data Manager is specifically designed to share real-time, historical, and Alarm & Events data between two or more control systems in a secure and reliable manner. The interface is intuitive making the mapping process quick and easy. <br><br> <a href="http://www.matrikonopc.com/products/opc-data-management/opc-data-manager.aspx?utm_campaign=Blast&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=EN-Marcom-Connections-ODMQuestion-06-01-2010" ClickThruID="8" IncrementField="Click_Through_8" target="_blank"> Click here to learn more about this solution!</a><br> </div><br> </td> <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top" width="282"> <a name="3"></a> <div id="newsletter_subtitle">Training - Become an OPC Expert</div> <div id="textnormal"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td id="textnormal">Learn from those who do - all our trainers have extensive on-site experience, bringing real world solutions and problems to the classroom.</td> <td align="right"><a href="http://www.matrikonopc.com/training/workshops/course-schedule.aspx?utm_campaign=Blast&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=EN-Marcom-Connections-Training-06-01-2010" target="_blank" ClickThruID="9" IncrementField="Click_Through_9"><img src="http://www.matrikon.com/newsletters/images/connections/training_icon.jpg" alt="Click here for the training schedule" border="0" width="65px" height="65px"></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="textnormal" colspan="2"><br>Find training in your area.<br>Click <a href="http://www.matrikonopc.com/training/workshops/course-schedule.aspx?utm_campaign=Blast&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=EN-Marcom-Connections-Training-06-01-2010" ClickThruID="10" IncrementField="Click_Through_10" target="_blank">here</a> for the schedule!</td> </tr> </table> </div> <br> <a name="4"></a> <div id="newsletter_subtitle">MatrikonOPC Integrators - Top Integrators Secure the best Support</div> <div id="textnormal"> Top system integrators partner with MatrikonOPC and take advantage of the best data connectivity products in the market, unmatched pre-sales support, 24/7 technical support, and extensive joint business development. <br><br> Join the MatrikonOPC Integrator Partner Program and start leveraging everything it has to offer today.
