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

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

34. The Swiss Army Knife of OPC!The Perfect Tool to Leverage Your ArchestrA Investments 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…

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

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?

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

38. OPC Data AggregationWhy 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!

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