OPC Router is a software program that allows you to connect data from various industrial devices and IT/OT systems to each other. All this quickly, automatically and without programming knowledge. In addition, you can see all data flows in a clear visualization.

Collect data, connect systems, perform calculations, compare values and enter results into databases. You can do all this with OPC Router for PLC systems, OPC servers, printers, RFID readers, emails, Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud systems, MQTT brokers, ERP systems SAP R3, SAP HANA, etc. For installation on a single computer you need a basic module and one or more plug-in modules.

OPC UA/DA Client plug-In

Used at every automation level, the OPC protocol is a common language that enables various hardware and software systems to exchange data. The OPC Router with the OPC UA/DA Client plug-in acts as OPC client, supporting the OPC UA and OPC DA protocols. With the OPC Router, via an OPC server, you can read and write data from/to PLCs, CNCs, robots and hundreds of other devices. The OPC Router also allows you transfer data from all of these systems to other systems, for example databases, MES and ERP.

The OPC Router is a great tool for those who work with KEPServerEX from the company Kepware. With over 150 supported communication drivers, KEPServerEX enables you to connect to PLC and other systems and convert their data formats to the OPC DA/UA protocols. This standardised data can then be transferred to the OPC Router via its OPC plug-in and to IT and OT systems via its other plug-ins.

Read and Write Operations with OPC UA Client

In the picture below, you can see an example of using the OPC UA Client for reading and writing data from/to a database. Whenever the value of the PalletNumber tag changes, the Data change trigger (1) triggers a connection. Information about the pallet (2) is read out from the OPC UA server. This information is transferred to the database (3) and information about the pallet's storage and any error codes are sent back to the OPC UA server (4).

Configuration

Before you can start to read data from an OPC server, you need to configure the OPC client. Your choice and configuration of the OPC client plug-in depends on the type of OPC server that you will read data from. You can choose between the OPC UA plug-in and the OPC Classic plug-in. When you have configured your plug-in, you can start to create connections and read data from the OPC server.

Transfer Objects and Triggers

Data transfers in the OPC Router are configured with the use of graphical objects and the drag & drop function. When you purchase the OPC UA/DA Client plug-in, the following transfer objects and triggers will become available to you.

System Requirements

Installation and Update

The OPC Router setup installs the configuration environment, Windows services and all plug-ins in demo mode with a runtime of 2 hours. Licensed plug-ins can only be run without time limitation after entering the license key.

The installation does not include a database system or an OPC server for production use. These components must be installed separately and then connected in the OPC Router configuration.

Computer Performance

OPC Router is a server application, so we recommend running it on suitable hardware. For standard use, we recommend:

a multi-core processor,
at least 8 GB RAM,
SSD storage.

Operating System

For production use, we recommend Microsoft Windows Server operating systems. 64-bit client operating systems can also be used, especially for testing purposes.

Supported operating systems:

Windows Server 2016 x64
Windows Server 2019 x64
Windows Server 2022 x64
Windows Server 2025 x64
Windows 10 x64
Windows 10 IoT x64
Windows 11 x64

Running in Docker

OPC Router can also be run in a Docker container, for example on an Edge device or a Windows device. The minimum requirements for running OPC Router in a Docker container are:

64-bit single-core 600 MHz CPU with AVX support,
512 MB RAM,
3 GB of free disk space.

.NET 8

OPC Router requires .NET 8. If it is not installed on the system, the OPC Router setup will install it if necessary.

In production environments, we recommend installing .NET 8 manually from Microsoft before updating OPC Router. The .NET installation may require Windows updates, take longer to complete and sometimes require several restarts. To reduce downtime, we recommend uninstalling older .NET versions only after .NET 8 has been installed successfully.

OPC Server

To connect controllers via OPC, an installed and accessible OPC server must be available. OPC Router supports connections via OPC DA 4.0, OPC UA and OPC XML.

The corresponding OPC plug-in is required for communication with an OPC server.

Database Server and Data Sources

Database servers are not part of the OPC Router installation. If you want to connect them to OPC Router, they must be installed and made accessible separately.

OPC Router supports connections to the following database systems and interfaces:

Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
MySQL
SAP HANA
OLE DB
systems accessible via ODBC

The following databases, data sources or files can also be connected:

MS Access
SQLite
dBase
InfluxDB
MongoDB
XML files

Plug-ins for database communication are not included in the Basic license. The appropriate plug-in must be selected for the specific type of database connection.

Oracle Database Connection

To connect to an Oracle database, Oracle Instant Client (ODAC) must be installed.

SAP Plug-in

The SAP Plug-in supports SAP systems version 4.0b and higher. SAP Logon Pad or the librfc32.dll library must be installed on the computer running OPC Router.

To use SAP NetWeaver, SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK must be installed.

The SAP Plug-in is a separately licensed module and is not included in the Basic license.

New features in the OPC Router 5.1 data hub

The new version of OPC Router 5 brings some big changes. The biggest change is the user interface, which brings the user more comfort when working with the program and the ability to work in Linux, macOS, etc. There are also new options for creating user accounts, improvements in application performance optimization and many other improvements.
