  • The user interface in comparison to the previous DataPorter window is improved

  • New icons are used

  • New Toolstrip to control (start, stop restart) the local DataPorter service is added

• Writing values from OPC to database is available in DataPorter demo version now. DataPorter can write data to any database. Built-in drivers allow for the connection to databases like Microsoft SQL, Oracle or any other using ODBC.

• DataPorter installs preconfigured MsSQL database by default. It is very easy to start writing to that database; the only thing that must be done is adding the “DB save” block to transaction in the configuration (no programming, SQL scripting, or connection defining is necessary).

• DataPorter allows writing to OPC from web services (previously, only reading from OPC via web services was available, now you can set the value in OPC using web services).

• There is a new possibility of triggering the transactions. For any transaction a trigger item can be defined. A change of the value of this item executes the transaction. The user can define the change percentage that causes the execution

• New graphical user interface fully compatible with OPC Viewer (free OPC client from CommServer Software family). Thanks to new interface, browsing the server (off-line / on-line) and adding OPC items to configuration is straightforward.

• Graphical transaction editor that supports creation of transactions as a diagram of operations. Each operation is presented as a simple block that can be easy connected with other operations.

• New transaction engine supports more complex transactions. New way of displaying the transaction as tree diagram simplifies the configuration and makes it more readable.

• New operations - Data Porter supports more mathematical functions; now it is possible to create a transaction that represents almost any mathematical equation.

• New OPC client engine that supports synchronous and asynchronous communication and has more flexible configuration opportunities. It is easier now to optimize the connection.
