OPC Scripting

What is OPC Scripting?

The OPC DataHub comes with a powerful built-in programming language called Gamma. DataHub scripting also contains support for Windows GUI development and ODBC support to connect to relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server.

• Attach code to specific data points so the script runs whenever the point value changes.
• Create alarm condition scripts and have them display warning messages to the user.
• Build custom dashboards and summary displays directly in Gamma scripts to create self contained DataHub applications.
• Create Excel readable log files from your live data by running logging code on a timed interval, or whenever a point change occurs.
• Connect to ODBC compliant relational databases to extract data as well as create records from live data.
• Apply linear transforms on data as it passes through the DataHub (for example change a temperature reading from celsius to farenheit).
• Create full OPC Server simulation programs in Gamma to test production systems before you 'go live'.
