ODBC Data Exchange
ODBC Data Exchange enables two-way exchange of data between the Experion database
and an ODBC-compliant database (either local or remote). It is typically used to periodically
transfer data such as production totals and values for billing customers. ODBC-compliant
databases include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle 7, Microsoft Access, and Sybase10.
With ODBC Data Exchange, the Experion server acts as a client application. (Contrast this
with the ODBC Driver, where the Experion server acts a server application.)
For more information, see 'Configuring Experion ODBC' in the Station Configuration Guide.
OPC
Experion provides the following OPC interfaces, each of which has been optimized for a
particular purpose:
Experion OPC Client Interface
The Experion OPC Client Interface is primarily designed for integrating low-complexity
subsystems, such as controllers. Configuration involves individually mapping OPC items to
standard Experion points (analog, status and so on).
If you require alarming for an item, you must configure the associated point's alarm
properties.
If your system has redundant third-party OPC servers, Experion Redirection Manager (RDM)
should also be installed and used. RDM is the only way to provide redundancy with the
Experion OPC Advanced Client.
For more information see the OPC Client Interface Reference.
Experion OPC Advanced Client
The Experion OPC Advanced Client includes a data client, and an alarm and event client for
connection to third-party OPC servers.
If your system has redundant third-party OPC servers, Experion Redirection Manager (RDM)
should also be installed and used. RDM is the only way to provide redundancy with the
Experion OPC Advanced Client.
For information about installing and configuring Redirection Manager and the System
Management runtime component, see : Experion “Installing Redirection Manager” in the
Supplementary Installation Tasks Guide.
