The OPC Time Monitor & Server Consolidator is a single, cost-effective software product that lets you:

  • Consolidate and funnel connections from multiple OPC Data Access Servers into a single OPC server data source for OPC clients that are limited in the number of OPC servers they can connect to.
  • Limit Request Rates to Servers - Through our consolidating and funnelling capabilities, control the data rate at which data is gathered from OPC servers - this prevents a single OPC client from overwhelming the OPC server with data rates that are faster than the server can handle.
  • Add Value to Data - Turn raw data from your PLCs and process controllers into valuable information for business decisions.
  • Simplify tag names for upstream clients. Every item configured can have a name that you define, thus channel1.device1.controllogix.globaldata.pid04.pv can become pid04.pv if you want.
  • Improve your business
    • Improve your manufacturing efficiency and profitability in a wide range of applications.
    • Provide valuable input for real time performance management and asset utilization applications

Plug in the OPC Time Monitor and Server Consolidator between your OPC Data Access Server and HMI/SCADA or Process Control System and start getting valuable process intelligence quickly.
