OPC Toolbox™ 2.1.1

The OPC Toolbox™ extends MATLAB® and Simulink® with tools for interacting with OPC servers. You can read, write, and log OPC data from devices that conform to the OPC Foundation Data Access standard, such as distributed control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and programmable logic controllers. The toolbox enables MATLAB and Simulink products to respond to an OPC server- or OPC Toolbox software-initiated event, such as a shutdown, server error, or item value change.

Engineers in chemical, pharmaceutical, power generation, and other continuous process industries can use the toolbox to import plant data into MATLAB for analysis, visualization, simulation, and rapid prototyping of algorithms. It lets you use Simulink models in online supervisory control and controller testing (hardware-in-the-loop) applications.
