OPC Router 5.1: more Intuitive and Efficient than ever!

Even more than OPC Router 5? That’s right. After reappearing with a powerful version in the fall with an integrated web interface, the software signs off the year with a more user-friendly, simple update, packed with new possibilities to explore.

Configure your OPC Router Directly in your Hands

In this latest release, OPC Router 5.1 adds touch operation on tablets or mobile devices. This incorporated control allows you to connect to the system at any time from the browser and control your connections with a simple touch.

Editing? A nightmare for others

In addition, version 5.1 makes editing individual connections in the user interface even easier: from now on, you can edit multiple transfer objects and OPC Router triggers simultaneously. And the simplicity doesn’t end there, because it also allows you to move, copy, paste, cut, and delete using multiple selection.

Efficient Business Growth…

Whether with peripheral devices directly on the machine or with a new server structure throughout the company, OPC Router meets all the requirements to join a company’s growth at any time.

The new version, in particular, further simplifies the scalability of projects. On the one hand, those found in Docker containers can be implemented on many peripheral devices simultaneously with just a few clicks. On the other hand, it offers the option of moving OPC Routers within the company, from applications to Windows servers, which facilitates offline and independent deactivation.

…and Simple!

With the partnership with HiveMQ, building a digital landscape of systems and implementing digitization in production becomes a piece of cake. The broker in the MQTT network facilitates the exchange of messages and information between the OPC Router and the corresponding MQTT clients.

But Wait, There’s More

Apart from the above, in OPC Router 5.1 you will find:

• Online manual: replaces the PDF version so you have access to the latest information at all times.
• OPC Router Helm Chart: The quick and easy implementation of OPC Router projects is now even easier with Kubernetes, thanks to the Helm Chart that provides the important and necessary technical information for this.
• Tag explorer in the OPC UA client: with which the associated data types are obtained, which makes the exploration even more promising.
• More plugins available: RFID Reader, Barcode Reader, Charm plug-in, Heidenhain plug-in, Euromap 77 and SQLite plug-in that you will find in version 5.1.

In just a few months, OPC Router has been forging its position as an indispensable ally for the development of organizations, with new functions getting on board as renewed versions came out. From Becolve Digital we look forward to the future updates that 2024 will bring.
