The DataHub OPC gateway converts real-time, streaming OPC DA data to UA or vice-versa, locally or over the plant network, at high speeds. It can be configured to eliminate DCOM issues in the process. The gateway functionality is just one feature of the Cogent DataHub—real-time middleware can access, integrate, log and visualize industrial data. The product is part of a complete, secure-by-design Industrial IoT system that provides remote access to plant data with no open firewall ports, VPNs or programming.
