21. 20 Agenda TOP Server Overview Tips & Tricks Case Studies Getting more from OPC Systems Questions & Discussion What’s New & Planned

22. 21 Tips & Tricks Maximizing Performance Use multiple channels on Ethernet Put high frequency writes on separate channel Use symbolic & physical modes on ControlLogix where appropriate Separate channels for each protocol mode If > 1/3 of all tags in PLC requested, Physical Blocking faster than non-blocking Using < 1/3 of items in a structure – Physical Non-Blocking Using > 1/3 of items in a structure – Physical Blocking Atomic tags – Physical Non-Blocking

23. 22 Tips & Tricks Using Intouch? Use the Suitelink Interface! Don’t need to use FS Gateway! Application = SERVERMAIN Topic = copy/paste from our Alias Map Item = pass in PLC addresses! Using Suitelink with TOP Server on Non- InTouch PC Using Industrial Application Server < 5000 Items - Use Suitelink Proxy Object > 5000 Items - Use OPC Client Proxy Object

35. 34 Getting More from OPC Systems Wonderware Leverages OPC OPC data into Archestra Get at Archestra data via OPC Get at InTouch data via OPC There’s so much you can do with OPC... ArchestrA does a lot but sometimes you may need more… The Swiss Army Knife of OPC! The Perfect Tool to Leverage Your ArchestrA Investments

36. 35 OPC DataHub Uses Not a replacement for ArchestrA! Leverage your ArchestrA investments Ideal for multi-vendor systems Cross-platform data movement

37. 36 OPC Data Hub Applications Abound Connecting OPC without using DCOM Combining OPC Tunneling, ODBC and Excel in one application Connect OPC Data to Excel Modifying data as it passes from ArchestrA to external applications Tunneling OPC data plant floor and non Wonderware MES/ERP Writing OPC Data to non- InSQL Databases Connect ArchestrA data to Linux or QNX Display OPC data on web mobile or desktop devices in other ways Monitoring plant performance from anywhere Bridging Data between ArchestrA and other OPC Data Sources What’s your application for OPC DataHub?

38. 37 OPC Data Aggregation What Is Aggregation? Aggregating to a Single Computer 1 to N OPC Clients (i.e. HMI/SCADA) Multiple & Varied Data Sources OPC DataHub Bringing together data from multiple sources Data sources don’t all have to be OPC servers!

39. 38 OPC Data Aggregation Why Aggregate? Insure common, consistent update rate Limit # of OPC connections Bring disparate data sources together (OPC, DDE, ODBC) Overcome OPC server limitations Reduce network traffic Improve system performance Save money on OPC client & server licensing with some applications!

40. 39 OPC Tunneling What is Tunneling? Computer #2Computer #1 Moving OPC Data via simple TCP/IP port connection Eliminating DCOM and Expanding Data Transport Choices Unique data tunneling superior to OPC command tunnelling
