• Publish live data to a remote computer through the Internet or an intranet.
• Store data directly into a database and receive data from a database.
• Subscribe to a message broker and receive data with the same program.
• Publish data using triggers and interlocks to maximize efficiency of communication

AutoSol OPCMessenger communication software connects data producers, data consumers and data warehouse facilities regardless of their locations, through industrial automation, information technologies, and Internet interface standards. Further, AutoSol OPCMessenger can process the in-transit data through Function Blocks that are developed in Microsoft Visual Basic, and that are scheduled for execution on a periodic or event basis. All of the following data communication modes can be supported in one installation of AutoSol OPCMessenger.

• Between local and/or remote industrial automation systems.
• Between local and/or remote databases
• From automation systems to local and/or remote databases
• From databases to local and/or remote automation systems

Function Blocks and Function Blocks Toolkit

AutoSol standard Function Blocks allows for processing of data while in transit. An example of a process which can be calculated in a function block is calculating total station flow rate from individual station meters.

AutoSol Function Block Toolkit enhances the capabilities of the Function Block Add-In by allowing the user to write customized blocks using Visual Basic� templates. One example is downloading natural gas components to field flow computers.

• Data values received through interfaces can be processed.
• Results of processing can be retransmitted through interfaces
• Supports rapid development and deployment of user Function Blocks in Microsoft Visual Basic

SQL Support

• SQL Connections allow the specification of an OLE DB Provider which enables the support for any relational database
• Each SQL Connection configured can use a different OLE DB Provider which supports connecting to different databases in a single OPCMessenger installation
• Recordsets which are defined per Connection, can be Publishers or Subscribers Recordsets
• SQL Queries can be defined for a Publish or Subscriber Recordset
• A Publish Recordset can include OPC data items or data items retrieved through a subscription to a JMS message queue A Publish Recordset can publish its data on
  • An interval timer, or
  • A logic event based on a member of the Topic
• Subscribing Recordsets are updated on an interval timer
• Fields published in a Recordset can be defined as
  • Data Link: The value of the data link source will be stored in the field
  • Constant Value: The provided value will be stored in the field
  • Time Stamp: The current time will be stored in the field

AutoSol MQ

OPCMessenger and the AutoSol MQ provide a low end solution for delivery of real-time data via the Publish-Subscribe paradigm.

OPCMessenger in combination with AutoSol MQ can leverage low bandwidth communication media for data delivery to Sub-scriber applications and systems.
