Enable OPC Clients to Connect with OAS Data

The OPC Client Connector product authorizes unlimited local and remote OPC UA and OPC DA Clients for read and write access to OAS tag values.

Incorporate real-time data with PLCs, IoT cloud systems, .NET applications, and databases to enhance your connectivity within the OPC workspace. Allow your system's data to be shared with third-party OPC clients.

Key Features & Benefits

Industry 4.0 Data Sources

Modbus, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 Controllers, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, MTConnect, AWS IoT Core, Kafka, .NET, REST Clients, Databases

Unified Namespace

Merge different data sources into a single, comprehensive data model. Node IDs and OPC items adhere to the same tag naming convention that you define.

OPC UA Connectivity

Connect your OPC UA clients directly to the OAS Engine's built-in OPC UA server. Direct access to every tag's 700+ variables with no additional setup required.

OPC DA Connectivity

Allow classic OPC Data Access 2.x or 3.0 OPC Clients to connect to OAS through the OPCSystems.NET Server that can be deployed locally or remotely.

Remote Networking

OAS features built-in networking syntax for direct access or proxy routing, enabling connectivity over LAN, WAN, VPN, or the Internet. This eliminates the need for DCOM when utilizing classic OPC DA connections, while enhancing performance for both OPC UA and OPC DA.

Data Protection

Utilize OAS security authentication to allow connectivity with user credentials and certificates with OPC UA. Security definitions permit access for browsing, reading, or writing values per site, group, tag, and variable.

Consolidate Connections

Establish a single connection to each data source, such as OPC servers, to share with multiple OPC clients. This approach enhances data throughput and lessens the communication load on each data provider.

Common Use Cases

OPC Server for Industry 4.0 Data

All OAS tag values allow read and write operations with various data types, including Modbus applications, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 controllers, OPC UA servers, OPC DA servers, MQTT, Sparkplug B, AWS IoT Core, and Kafka.

OPC Server for Databases

Configure tags with a data source from databases to enable access to SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. This allows for bi-directional access for OPC clients when the Database Connector and Data Historian products are activated.

Compute Values

Using the calculation engine setup tags to create math and logical equations to compute results from any number of local and remote tag values.

OPC Tunnel

Install OAS as close as possible to each OPC server to facilitate efficient routing of data. Utilize the OAS Distributed Network Architecture to enhance data flow and resolve network routing issues.

One Way Data

Leverage the OAS unidirectional network gateway to transmit data through communication diodes, which only permit data to flow in one direction. This enables third-party OPC clients to access data outside of the protected zone.
