Hi,

Anyone has the experience of using matrikon opc data manger to communicate with honeywell APP node (HCI.TPNserver) and Siemens S7 OPC server (OPC.SimaticNet). Trying to establish bidirectional communication with them.

Please reply.
Regards,

If you need a hand, your best bet will be to contact MatrikonOPC's support at www.OPCSupport.com

Have you got a data historian system that can read the data in to first using a true OPC Client ? It is often less problematic than trying to connect 2 OPC Servers directly. This kind of setup is notoriously bad at recognizing interruptions in the Comms and you can often end up with flat lined data.

I have found both Matrikons OPC Data Manager and Emersons OPC Mirror to suffer in the same way. It can cause you a world of problems in the long run. Neither one, in my experience, is great at recovering after an outage either.

Best of luck.
