Event Transfer Module
MatrikonOPC History Link is available with an optional Event Transfer Module (ETM). The ETM adds tremendous value to this robust OPC Client by enabling users to capture event-relative historical data. The ETM data can then be used for trouble-shooting, sequence of events analysis and reporting.

MatrikonOPC History Link benefits users who are currently collecting or storing historical data using event triggers, OPC History Link is a quick and easy way to transfer historical data.

The ETM operates by recording high frequency real-time event-relevant data and then transfers it to the Enterprise historian for ling-term storage and analysis.

Event Transfer Module Features include:

  • Complement the Enterprise Process Historian solution by capturing only
        the event-relevant high-speed data
  • Standards-based system adheres to the OPC DA (Data Access) and
        HDA (Historical Data Access) specifications
  • Capture process data with millisecond resolution
  • Configurable recording times before and after specified events ensure all
        necessary data is captured
  • Zero-maintenance system due to static buffer size

  •  


    Modes of Transfer:
    Scheduled: Step-by-step wizards make automating the transfer of historical data quick and easy.

    Event initiated: MatrikonOPC History Link is an extremely robust OPC Client that has the built in ability to easily accommodate event based data migration.

        long-term storage and/or analysis
  • Move data from CSV or database files to multiple CSV or database files.
  • Analysis and storage: OPC Historical Transporter can alleviate the time and
        costs associated with data analysis at remote stations by migrating historical
        data to a centralized process historian or CSV file. Data can then be
        analyzed or stored within a central system.
  • Control the amount of bandwidth used for transferring large amounts of
        historical data over corporate network lines. Eliminate stress on plant control
        networks during historian syncing.

  • Typical uses:



    Automated transfer of data: MatrikonOPC History Link can be scheduled to regularly and automatically transfer historical data generated by Remote Terminal Units (RTU), Analyzers, or other devices to a centralized process historian or CSV file. This makes it a perfect fit for SCADA environments where data is collected remotely and needs to be transferred to the enterprise level for analysis and/or long-term storage.

    Multi-site data migration and synchronization: MatrikonOPC History Link seamlessly facilitates the transfer and synchronization of historical data from archived sources of data to one or more databases or CSV files

    Trip Capture: Having sub-second historical data for analysis is extremely useful for post-trip analysis. The MatrikonOPC History Link captures sub-second data surrounding a trip event (or any significant event) and delivers the data to the operation's existing process historian; analyze the sub-second process data using the analysis tools already deployed!

    Batch Capture: Instead of collecting data that is not relevant to specific phases of a process, History Link delivers data defined by a specific phase of a process to the process historian, thus eliminating the need to sort through irrelevant data. Increase your operational effectiveness by only analyzing the data that matters!

    OPC Store and Forward: Ensure all remote real time data is delivered reliably to the process historian. Utilizing OPC HDA Recognize and Retrieve, all process data is retrieved, even if communication is lost!
