MatrikonOPC Server for Foxboro I/A

MatrikonOPC has released an enhanced MatrikonOPC Server for Foxboro I/A, which includes support for Foxboro I/A Series systems version 8.8. The OPC server securely facilitates communication between OPC-enabled client software, such as HMIs, historians and reporting software, and Foxboro I/A devices.

Recently, Invensys announced the deprecation of FoxAPI beginning in version 8.8 of Foxboro I/A. This update allows users of Foxboro I/A 8.8 and above to continue to use OPC-based communication by leveraging the AIM API.

By porting their products to the Invensys preferred APIs, Matrikon OPC supports I/A Series systems version 8.8 and the migration of those systems to Windows 7 and Microsoft Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

Key features of the OPC server include: support for FoxAPI, Object Manager and AIM API; integrated OPC security; real-time (DA) and historical (HDA) OPC data access; and built-in alias configuration.
