DataWorX™32 is an add-on component to GENESIS32 (or to any other 3rd party OPC based system), providing patent pending enabling technology in three key areas:

• OPC Server to OPC Server Data Bridging
• OPC-Based Redundancy
• OPC Data Aggregation

As with all ICONICS products built on the OPC-To-The-Core technology, DataWorX32 is an OPC Data Access client application. That means it can easily plug-n-play not only with ICONICS servers and components, but other 3rd-Party hardware interface drivers and software as well. It also has a role as an OPC Server itself, providing data it collects to other OPC Clients, as described below.

Data Bridging
DataWorX32 offers unique Data Bridging technology allowing the connectivity of any OPC Server to any other OPC Server. Plug and Play interoperability made easy. For example, connect an AB OPC Server to a Siemens OPC Server and share data easily and seamlessly between these two devices. Data can also be manipulated through expressions and calculations before being transferred to the other equipment, providing a powerful set of transformation options.

Redundancy
DataWorX32 also can be configured to provide your project with multi-level OPC data redundancy. Connect any number of OPC Servers to an OPC HMI Client (ours, or any 3rd party OPC client). Then, let DataWorX32 do the redundant automatic switch over to your backup OPC Servers. It's easy to set up, and can communicate over both DCOM and via GenBroker to talk COM over IP.

Aggregation
Another benefit of DataWorX32 is found in its OPC Data Aggregation feature. Connect any number of OPC Clients (ours, or 3rd party clients), and DataWorX32 will consolidate the OPC Data Requests automatically. This aggregation can help in reducing the load on the OPC Server itself. DataWorX32 takes care of getting the data and then disseminating it to the appropriate client applications.

And More
DataWorX32 supports local, Intranet or Internet operation. It also offers a "global variable" option, providing user-defined OPC Tags without having to create these in real-I/O servers. There are sophisticated data selection mechanisms (data switches) choosing such things as "1st with Good Data" or "Highest Value" and more.
