Connecting SCADA systems to Red Lion
devices

This easy to use software tool allows you to create and configure an OPC server to communicate with the G3 series HMI, the Data Station Plus or the Enhanced Master, or any device that supports Modbus

OPCWorx is an easy to use software tool that allows you to create and configure an OPC server to communicate with the G3 series HMI, the Data Station Plus or the Enhanced Master, as well as any device that supports Modbus OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an industry standard that allows software components to exchange data

Most popular SCADA systems can act as OPC clients, and thereby use OPC "servers" to perform the actual communications with the field devices.

Any such SCADA package can now communicate with Red Lion products, directly accessing the tags that they contain.

Also, since many of Red Lion products can communicate to an unlimited number of devices via several protocols simultaneously, you now have the option to use such a product to concentrate communications data for transfer to a SCADA package via a single OPC connection.

This can dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of applications that would traditionally require multiple OPC servers.
