Powerful enough to replace your PLC

Rather than purchase an expensive PLC that supports calculations, users can scale their systems with an inexpensive I/O that supports their system's protocol. Couple that with MatrikonOPC Calculator RT, and users can perform all their calculations within the software.

Take the load off of your DCS with MatrikonOPC Calculator RT

MatrikonOPC Calculator can be used to reduce the calculations performed by an overloaded DCS. Calculations can be transferred into OPC Calculator to be manipulated in real-time, and once manipulated the data can be reloaded into the DCS. This reduces the load on the DCS, increasing system throughput and ultimately making your process more efficient.
