Kepware LinkMaster provides a means of linking data between OPC servers, serving as a universal bridge for OPC systems. It acts as both an OPC server and DDE server, allowing it to bridge legacy DDE systems and new OPC-enabled applications. LinkMaster simplifies the process of data exchange between OPC servers, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing network traffic.

Features

• Programming Knowledge Optional: Simply drag and drop to create links. Built-in scaling, access manager, and error tracking provide total control of your data flow and applications.
• Data Transfer Visibility: Using multiple Link Groups, LinkMaster allows you to control how fast data is transferred from one OPC server to another.
• Control Data Transfers: Tailor your data transfers to fit the needs of the application for greater control, reduced network traffic, and increased reliability.
• Built-In Redundancy: A pair of LinkMaster machines can operate in redundant pairs that can shift data in case of a node failure to ensure reliable, ongoing access.
• User Management: With the built-in User Manager, gain complete control over what types of functionalities each individual user can access with OPC applications.
• Runs as a Windows Service: LinkMaster can run as a Windows service. Service operation is completely user configurable and can be changed anytime from standalone to NT service mode.
• Link Management: LinkMaster's link management system creates a link database structure that fits the nature of your application.
• Data Scaling: Support direct scaling of link item data via LinkMaster, allowing raw data to be converted to engineering units for OPC client applications.

Benefits

• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Streamlines data sharing from OPC server to OPC server, reducing network traffic and improving reliability.
• Cost-Effective: Provides a more reliable and cost-effective solution for OPC redundancy.
• User-Friendly: Simplifies the process of linking data between OPC servers with drag-and-drop functionality and built-in tools.
• Scalable: Supports both current and legacy devices, making it adaptable to various industrial environments.
• Secure: Ensures secure data transmission and control over user access and functionalities.
