Adding to your SCADA system with minimal expense: OPC Software

Integrate Veriteq Data Loggers with OPC Software

If you own a SCADA system (e.g. iFix, Wonderware, Siemens, etc.), you know that adding devices can be a challenge; the added time, the extra expense and the need for an IT or factory consultant to install can keep you from building the monitoring system you require. But there is an painless alternative.

Many centralized monitoring systems allow connectivity through open standard protocols, such as OPC. Because OPC permits interoperability through open standards specifications, interfacing any Window-based monitoring system with a variety of devices is much easier.

With Veriteq's OPC software, you can add fail-safe monitoring and alarming to your current system, easily and inexpensively. The software allows you to connect to your existing system, on your existing network. The plug-and-play set-up lets you integrate Veriteq data loggers — often in under one hour.

OPC User Comments: Greer Laboratories

OPC software users not only save the time and expense of a complex upgrade and installation, they've improve their monitoring capabilities with Veriteq data logger's superior reliability.

Darrin Pearson, Facilities Manager for Greer Laboratories says of using OPC:

“We added a new production area for allergenic extracts and needed to include it in our existing centralized monitoring system. By using Veriteq data loggers we eliminated long runs of thermocouple wire and expensive programming otherwise required by the original SCADA system.

The internal battery for each logger also gave peace of mind — now our temperature, humidity and absolute pressure data is safe even in a power outage or network failure.”

The Universal Language of OPC Software

OPC is a software interface standard that allows Windows™-based programs to communicate with a variety of hardware devices. It converts a non-standard or proprietary language within a program into an OPC protocol. The OPC-client software then connects the data to the Human Machine Interface.

With Veriteq OPC software you can tailor your environmental monitoring system to meet the needs of new applications.
