OPC Crosslink Suite

OPC Data Bridge, OPC Data Concentrator and Redundant OPC Server Hub

OPC Crosslink Suite allows the user to pass data between any combination of OPC DA servers and PLCs, and it enables the user to set up the following OPC configurations:

Redundant OPC servers with an unlimited number of backup servers.
OPC data bridges that pass data from one OPC server to another, from one PLC to another, or between OPC servers and PLCs. The source and target systems may be any combination of OPC DA servers and PLCs, even from different vendors.
OPC data concentrators that obtain data from other OPC DA servers – regardless of brand or spec level – and present it to OPC clients. Because Cyberlogic’s OPC servers comply with OPC DA 3.0, 2.05a and 1.0a specifications, this concentrator configuration will solve spec level mismatches that may exist between some clients and servers.

OPC Server Redundancy for Mission-Critical Applications

The OPC Crosslink Suite allows an unlimited number of OPC servers to be configured as redundant OPC servers. The OPC Crosslink Suite has integrated fault-tolerant communication features not found in other OPC servers. Multiple, priority-based access paths can be used to build a true redundant communication architecture. The built-in Health Watchdog monitors the health of all connections. The auto-switching access paths can be configured to quickly redirect communications to an unlimited number of redundant OPC servers.

Built for Performance

The Cyberlogic OPC server guarantees minimal load on the communication networks through advanced message transaction optimizers.

Packed with Intelligent and Powerful Features

Using DirectImport™ feature, a user can import server configuration from other OPC servers with a single mouse click.

Using Auto-configuration and DirectAccess™ features, a user can configure a minimal server setup with a single mouse click and gain access to all the tags in each OPC server without any user configuration. Power users can control many aspects of the server configuration. For enhanced security, write operations can be disabled for some or all of the data sources at data item, folder, device, device folder or network node levels. DirectAccess writes can also be disabled at each network node.

In version 7, DirectAccess feature supports redundancy at device level. This allows all DirectAccess operations to switch seamlessly between redundant devices/OPC servers in the address space.
