Devices: PLC-5, supported PLC Type; SLC-500, supports all PLC communication methods via RS-Linx

The Matrikon OPC Server for Allen-Bradley PLCs is an OPC compliant server that enables data interchange between WonderWare and other OPC clients and Allen-Bradley PLCs. The server provides read and write access to basic and structured PLC register types in PLC-5 and SLC-500 PLCs. Communication occurs using RS-LINX, which manages connections via RS-232, DH+, or Ethernet. Either way, the server is self-optimizing and self-configuring to provide easy, efficient, and reliable data transfer. Although new versions of RS-LINX provide OPC capabilities, this server provides a cost-effective route to extend existing Allen-Bradley installations. For new installations, Matrikon offers a direct-to-PLC version of this server that does not require RS-LINX Our OPC components represent the pinnacle of Matrikon's extensive driver and interface development experience.
