OPC DataHub Script Use Examples
Ways Scripting can be used Populate the OPC DataHub with a large
number of OPC or ODBC items
ODBC Data Sources
Multiple & Varied
OPC Data SourcesOPC
DataHub
Script to import
data items
OPC DataHub Script Use Examples
Mathematical conversion of items Triggered Data exchange between control Systems
ServerServer
When the value changes on a specified tag, pass all group values to the
other server- OPC tag = F(OPC Tag)
- Or- OPC tag = OPC Tag

OPC DataHub Script Use Examples
Custom Dashboard Pop-up alarms
OPC DataHub Script Use Examples
More Examples: Custom supervisory control strategies Import/Export to CSV or any text file Custom user interaction Launch other applications Dynamic Web content
OPC DataHub Scripting Use your imagination
Built-in support for: Read and write files on disk ODBC (database) connectivity MATLAB connectivity Windows GUI programming Dynamic data types Partial code evaluation Repeat, one-shot and time-of-day timers ASP-conversion of text files Execute other Windows programs Modify OPC DataHub configuration Custom extensions – loadable DLLs
e.g., math libraries, graphics libraries Unified event model - run code when:
data changes, a timer fires, or user interaction
