Simplify Variable access to OPC Arrays and Structure elements with Matrikon Data Broker 2.4.1

    SPONSORED BY: Matrikon

    System Upgrade: Matrikon Data Broker 2.4.1

    Mapping data from structures and arrays into usable variables used to take hours of manual setup or custom scripts. With Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) 2.4.1, this work is now quick, accurate, and scalable.

    You can map individual elements directly in the UA Explorer GUI without creating nodes by hand. For larger projects, bulk-mapping automatically builds hundreds of variables in one step, cutting setup time from hours to minutes.

    In practice:

    • Power Generation: Turbine systems output DA arrays with temperatures, vibration, and exhaust values. MDB 2.4.1 lets teams select only the values needed for monitoring, reducing setup complexity and risk of error.
    • Oil & Gas: Pipeline SCADA stations publish structured datasets. Flow and pressure values can be mapped directly into dashboards in one pass instead of one by one.
    • Pharma: During batch runs, PLCs publish arrays of weights, mixing speeds, and temperatures. MDB makes it simple to pull compliance-critical values into QA systems without extra scripting or controller changes.

    This expanded mapping capability helps companies move structured OT data into variables faster and with greater consistency across projects.

    MQTT Publisher Extension Enhances Secure Cloud Connectivity

    The MQTT Publisher extension for MDB now provides secure OPC UA data publishing into Microsoft Azure. Using OPC UA as the format keeps the data open and interoperable once it reaches the cloud.

    Support for multi-cloud platforms and on-premises MQTT brokers is planned, giving customers flexibility in hybrid environments.
