| Cogent Launches OPC DataHub Cogent Real-Time Systems has announced the release of a new product: the OPC DataHub. This new software can simultaneously aggregate OPC servers, tunnel data across a network or the Internet, and bridge between different OPC servers. It also includes a complete built-in scripting language and read/write access to ODBC databases, web browsers and Excel spreadsheets. The OPC DataHub builds on Cogent's proprietary middleware technology, first introduced in 1995 and currently in use in thousands of systems worldwide. This technology allows you to seamlessly integrate data across multiple Windows, Linux and QNX platforms. The OPC DataHub tunnels through firewalls to connect OPC servers and clients across a network or the Internet. This eliminates DCOM security and timeout issues. The DataHub's multiple-connection interface lets it aggregate any number of OPC servers. Combining these capabilities with OPC bridging and native DDE and TCP protocols lets the OPC DataHub make OPC data available virtually anywhere, from the plant floor to the office boardroom, across the local network or across the ocean, in a web browser or powering Excel spreadsheets, in Windows, Linux and QNX. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
