MatrikonOPC OPC Server for Allen-Bradley

MatrikonOPC has expanded the functionality of its OPC Server for Allen-Bradley by adding the support for Rockwell’s EN2T communication card, bit writes and revamped graphical user interface. With the added features, the MatrikonOPC Server for Allen-Bradley provides users with a comprehensive connectivity package for all Allen-Bradley PLCs in one OPC Server and an optimised workflow, all of which makes configuration and maintenance faster and more intuitive.

Enabling bit writes through OPC items provides granular control over data access, which allows engineers to perform intricate operations down to the lowest levels. Also, this OPC Server comes with built-in, role-based security down to the per-tag level. Based on each user’s login, this OPC Server selectively grants or denies access to specific tags, providing only the authorised users with secure access to the right process data. This means the Allen-Bradley OPC Server actively protects the integrity of the overall automation system data.

Key features include comprehensive connectivity support for PLC5s, SLC500s, Micrologix (1100 A, 1400, 1200 etc), and ControlLogix platforms; automatic discovery of Allen Bradley PLCs; and high performance suited to sequential, process, drive and motion control.
