Kepware LinkMaster: Easily Exchange Data Between OPC DA Servers
Capture the power of programming-optional tools to streamline industrial automation data exchange from OPC server to OPC server
What is LinkMaster?
LinkMaster provides a means of linking data between OPC servers, thus serving as a universal bridge for OPC systems. LinkMaster acts as both an OPC server and DDE server, allowing it to bridge legacy DDE systems and new OPC-enabled applications.

OPC server to OPC server bridging
Kepware’s LinkMaster provides a means of linking data between OPC DA servers, thus serving as a universal bridge for OPC systems.
OPC server collector or gateway
LinkMaster can function as a single OPC server that serves data from multiple OPC servers, with the capability to act as both a client and a server.
OPC server with server bridging
LInkMaster can help you route data between two PLCs (programmable logic controllers) connected to the same server, using LinkMaster to define the tag data routing.

How can reliable OPC pairs be built with RedundancyMaster?
Explore the features that will change how you think about OPC redundancy. The innovations in RedundancyMaster can work together seamlessly with your current OPC application to give you a more reliable, cost-effective solution.
Built-In Redundancy: A pair of LinkMaster machines can operate in redundant pairs that can shift data in case of a node failure to ensure reliable, ongoing access.
User Management: With the built-in User Manager, gain complete control over what types of functionalities each individual user can access with OPC applications.
Runs as a Windows Service: LinkMaster can run as a Windows service. Service operation is completely user configurable and can changed anytime from standalone to NT service mode.
Link Management: LinkMaster's link management system creates a link database structure that fits the nature of your application.
Data Scaling: Support direct scaling of link item data via LinkMaster, allowing raw data to be converted to engineering units for OPC client applications.
