OPC Router Enables Modular Integration

Plug-Ins - Making Connections to IT, OT, IoT Systems

Plug-Ins are the heart of the modular integration approach to OPC Router.  Only license what you need to keep things cost effective.  The standard subscription license options provide the most common plug-ins in one cost effective license, while modular perpetual licenses are also a strong value.  It's your choice. 

Our technical team will help you choose the right plug-ins for your application and get them at the best budget-aware price possible. 

Trigger Functions - Getting things Done

Triggers are how things get done in OPC Router. Some are included in all licenses, others are enabled by the Plug-Ins that you have licensed. 

Plug-ins included in all licenses are the Time, Cron (Scheduled), Script and File Triggers. 

All trigger types are documented in the OPC Router documentation. 

Below are two very powerful triggers, one included with Database Plug-Ins, and the other available to all licenses, the Global Variable Trigger. 

Global Variable Triggers

This trigger type enables you to take the output of one connection and use that to set a global variable.  Then other connections can use that global variable based on conditions you specify to trigger another action.  

This capability reduces the need for scripting and increases performance. 

In this simplistic example, we trigger off a data change in an OPC Server, and set a global variable, then whenever that variable changes value, we write a boolean value back to an OPC Server.  True applications are typically more powerful than this of course!
