i| Integrates Opto 22 SNAP PAC controllers and brains with databases and other enterprise business systems ^| Creates data conduits between multiple controllers, databases, and other systems Provides easy setup and configuration, with no need to recreate control strategy tagnames File Edit Run Help OptoDataLink main window OptoDataLink™from Opto 22 is connectivity software for Microsoft9 Windows9 that collects data from Opto 22 SNAP PAC industrial controllers and other sources, and then sends that data to one or more destinations. OptoDataLink supports • Databases, including Microsoft SQL Server™, MySQL9, Microsoft Access, and other ODBC compliant databases • SNAP PAC controllers and brains • ASCII text files Data can be sent to any of these destinations—or all of them—simultaneously. Applications that are well suited for OptoDataLink include data archival and data warehousing, as well as those where control system alarms need to be reported, acknowledged, and recorded at the enterprise level. OptoDataLink has several features that make it easy to use: • As part of Opto 22's PAC Project software suite, OptoDataLink is integrated into the SNAP PAC System, so control system tags (tagnames) for OptoDataLink are created automatically when the control strategy is developed. This makes it unnecessary to recreate tagnames for variables, input/output (I/O) points, and other controller • Once a data link is established, OptoDataLink runs in the background as Windows service. No human-machine interface (HMI) application needs to be configured or running. Therefore, OptoDataLink continues to run as long as the computer is running, unless you stop it in the configuration interface. • OptoDataLink uses a simple,four-step,form-based configuration interface to set up data connections. No experience is reguired with setting up technologies such as SNAP PAC OptoDataLink Database or other controller or brain connectivity software enterprise application Part Number Opto 22 • 43044 Business Park Drive • Temecula, CA 92590-3614 • www.opto22.com ©2012 Opto 22.

OptoDataLink • Microsoft .NET Runtime 1.1 or 2.0 (included on the PAC Project Professional CD, or available from the Microsoft website) situation, only OptoOPCServer communicates with the controller; in turn, OptoDataLink, PAC Display, as well as any OPC 2.0-compliant software applications communicate with OptoOPCServer. OptoOPCServer Software To use OptoOPCServer with OptoDataLink, OptoOPCServer must be installed on the same PC as OptoDataLink. OptoOPCServer is included in Opto 22’s PAC Professional software suite, and can also be purchased separately. For example OptoOPCServer would be useful...
