  8. Automated Production Report Generationwith OPC DataHub • Live Demonstration • Connecting to OPC Server • Connecting to Database • Creating report from script • Emailing report • Viewing the report through a Web Page

  9. ODBC Database OPC DataHub Scripting Engine Script ASP Page Data Engine OPC Server HTML Document Automated Production Report Generationwith OPC DataHub • Live Demonstration OPC DataHub Email/SMS Text message Web Browser

  10. OPC DataHub OPC DataHub Script Use Examples • Ways Scripting can be used • Populate the OPC DataHub with a large number of OPC or ODBC items Script to import data items Multiple & Varied OPC Data Sources ODBC Data Sources

  11. Server Server OPC DataHub Script Use Examples • Mathematical conversion of items • Triggered Data exchange between control Systems When the value changes on a specified tag, pass all group values to the other server • OPC tag = F(OPC Tag) • Or • OPC tag = OPC Tag ODBC Database OPC DataHub

  12. OPC DataHub OPC DataHub Script Use Examples • Create special internal items • To hold values • To use for time-delay • Use to create sliding average or trending alarm Add internal points Multiple & Varied OPC Data Sources ODBC Data Sources
