OPC Toolbox™ provides access to live and historical OPC datadirectly from MATLAB^® and Simulink^®. You can read, write,and log OPC data from devices, such as distributed control systems,supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and programmablelogic controllers. OPC Toolbox lets you work with data from liveservers and data historians that conform to the OPC Data Access (DA)standard, the OPC Historical Data Access (HDA) standard, and the OPCUnified Architecture (UA) standard.

The product includes Simulink blocks that let you modelonline supervisory control and perform hardware-in-the-loop controllertesting.

About OPC Servers and Clients

• Overview of OPC, Servers, and the Toolbox
  

  Provides an overview of OPC principles and OPC Toolbox software.

• OPC Historical Data Access
  

  The OPC Historical Data Access (HDA) standard provides an interoperable platform to store and exchange historical process data.

• About OPC Unified Architecture
  

  The OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) standard combines all the capabilities of OPC Data Access and OPC Historical Data Access standards (together, referred to as 'OPC Classic') and adds various additional capabilities into a single, extensible standard.

Read and write data from OPC servers and data historians

OPC Toolbox™ provides access to live and historical OPC data directly from MATLAB^® and Simulink^®. You can read, write, and log OPC data from devices, such as distributed control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and programmable logic controllers. OPC Toolbox lets you work with data from live servers and data historians that conform to the OPC Data Access (DA) standard, the OPC Historical Data Access (HDA) standard, and the OPC Unified Architecture (UA) standard.

The product includes Simulink blocks that let you model online supervisory control and perform hardware-in-the-loop controller testing.

Capabilities

OPC Data Access Techniques

Discover, access, and read raw and processed data from any data historian compliant with the OPC Historical Data Access standard.

OPC Data Access Object

Manage connections to OPC servers and collections of server items or tags.

OPC DA Data Reading and Writing

Read from or write to individual items or all the items in the group simultaneously.

OPC Historical Data Access

Browse the server namespace and retrieve fully qualified IDs of each item stored on the server.

OPC UA Data Access

Browse for available OPC UA servers. You then connect to an OPC UA server by creating an OPC UA Client object.

OPC UA Historical Data Access

Read historical data from nodes on the UA server.
