MatrikonOPC Server for SCADA Modbus - Feature Download

The new MatrikonOPC Server for SCADA Modbus has been thoroughly tested under extreme conditions to provide users with reliable connections to remote devices under adverse conditions. Typically used in industries such as: oil & gas, mining and utilities where communications often take place between RTUs (Remote Transfer Units) and are frequently unreliable, noisy, slow, or expensive (modems, leased lines, radios, satellite, etc).

These industries all seek a solution such as the MatrikonOPC Server for SCADA Modbus to improve communications and decrease costs. The new MatrikonOPC Server for SCADA Modbus has been developed to enable both round-robin and demand polling of RTUs and is capable of communicating with thousands of devices under less than optimal communications.

The MatrikonOPC A&E Server for OPC Real-time Data enables users to create custom OPC Alarms & Events based on real-time data from OPC Servers. Users are empowered with the ability to decide what parameters and conditions will trigger an alarm, and what information that alarm message will contain.

This makes the MatrikonOPC Alarms and Events Server for Real-Time Data the perfect tool for simplifying HMI configuration by defining alarms within this software rather than in the HMI.



No longer will failovers be silent and unreported. The new Status Tag feature built into the MatrikonOPC Redundancy Broker software enables users the ability to view, notify, and even control redundancy. This new feature provides access to: OPC Server status, failover count, failover control, policies and much more!

As technology moves forward at a rapid rate, OPC technology must evolve to match pace. OPC Unified Architecture is the next evolution for OPC technology.

This interactive webcast will explore the history as to why and how the OPC Foundation developed the OPC UA specification, and what it means for the future.

Key discussion points:
  • Exploration of COM and DCOM as the foundations for the earlier OPC Specifications
  • Overview of mechanisms for data transport between computers and plant-floor devices
  • A review of the earlier OPC Specifications
  • Key acceptance factors for the new OPC UA standard
  • Open Forum discussion with Russell Tolsma (Chair of the OPC Foundation OPC UA Committee)

In constantly evolving business environments, industries are forced to find ingenious ways to stay competitive. Over the last few years, more emphasis has been placed on asset management and how it affects the bottom line. This article discusses how OPC can be applied in an industrial setting to help improve asset management practices.

Whether manufacturers produce hard things that ‘thunk’ or gooey stuff that splats, they require software that offers fast, flexible and reliable access to data. Companies are continually facing environments that are evolving in diversity and complexity. Standard, industrial strength OPC products ensure that regardless of their business, production style or control equipment, their choice for data access is not a hard one to make.



When someone says “I’m using OPC”, invariably they mean they are using OPC DA 2.05. It’s far and away the front runner of existing OPC installations. There are quite a few architectures using OPC HDA and A&E, far fewer using Batch, XML DA or DX. Somewhat of a mixed bag, would be those using OPC DA 3.00, which was released in early 2003. Most major OPC vendors have since upgraded their products to support OPC DA 3.00, but how many out there are using the new features?



Automation professionals are frequently faced with a variety of connectivity challenges. Work with industry peers and OPC experts to learn how to take full advantage of OPC technology.
