We invite you to watch a new series of videos demonstrating different aspects of the OPC DataHub. Each video is just a few minutes long, and covers one common configuration task for the OPC DataHub.

You can see how to:

• Connect to an OPC Server.
• Tunnel to a remote DataHub computer.
• Log data to a database.
• Do other common tasks.

Fielding Chemical Technologies, the largest solvent and refrigeration reclamation company in Canada, is using the OPC DataHub to distribute the process data from their new Pervap project across the corporate network and the Internet.

"The OPC DataHub is an amazing piece of technology," said Robert McGregor, Pervap project researcher. "It is reliable, secure, easy to use, and it does exactly what we need."

OPC bridging is a way to connect an OPC Server to another OPC Server on the same computer. Using the OPC DataHub you can bridge between OPC Servers to integrate data from different systems. The OPC DataHub also adds the following advanced features:

• You can connect OPC Servers on the same computer or over a network connection (bridging and tunneling at the same time).

• Built-in linear transformations allow you to scale, convert or normalize the data as it is bridged from one server to the other.
• You can display OPC data in a web browser, or get full read and write access to ODBC databases.
