OPC Bridging

What is OPC Bridging?

OPC Bridging means connecting an OPC Server to another OPC Server on the same computer. This is a powerful way to integrate systems that don't normally talk to each other.

What is OPC Advanced Bridging?

Using the OPC DataHub you can bridge between OPC Servers to integrate data from different systems. The OPC DataHub also adds the following advanced features:

• You can connect OPC Servers on the same computer or over a network connection (Bridging and Tunnelling at the same time).
  
  
  
• Point and click interface makes bridge configuration quick and easy. Click here for the movie: How to configure point to point bridging.
• Built-in linear transformations allow you to scale, convert or normalize the data as it is bridged from one server to the other.
• The powerful built-in scripting language lets you define even more complex relationships between points in code for even more power and flexibility.
• You have the ability to bridge between multiple OPC Servers, both locally on the same computer and over multiple network connections.
• You can display OPC data in a web browser.
• You have full read and write access to ODBC databases.
