Matrikon OPC Tunneller

OPC Tunneller from MatrikonOPC now supports encryption and data compression to provide an easy, reliable and secure way to communicate between networked computers. It does away with the difficulties typically associated with DCOM configuration. Different protocols, security settings or locations are no longer a factor when sharing data between computers. This is achieved by installing OPC Tunneller on the OPC client and OPC server nodes and then telling the Tunneller client where the Tunneller server exists.

While DCOM requires a reliable communication network, OPC Tunneller can operate under poor initial network set-up, widespread networks and unreliable network infrastructures such as satellite or wireless networks. OPC Tunneller also allows for user-configurable time-outs, thus giving better control.
