OPC Router is a software program that allows you to connect data from various industrial devices and IT/OT systems to each other. All this quickly, automatically and without programming knowledge. In addition, you can see all data flows in a clear visualization.
Collect data, connect systems, perform calculations, compare values and enter results into databases. You can do all this with OPC Router for PLC systems, OPC servers, printers, RFID readers, emails, Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud systems, MQTT brokers, ERP systems SAP R3, SAP HANA, etc. For installation on a single computer you need a basic module and one or more plug-in modules.
Videojet Inkjet Printer Plug-In
Videojet has been supplying reliable printers and labellers for many years. The printers are used in industrial packaging systems for efficient coding and labelling of products. Smooth, reliable setup of the printer before production is important for efficient marking. Too long setup times due to manual processes cost valuable time.
By connecting Videojet inkjet printers via the OPC Router, automatic setup of the printers at production start is possible. Data can be obtained automatically from various source systems (e.g. SQL databases, SAP, SPS via OPC, etc.) and transferred directly to the printer without loss of time. This also ensures that printer configuration is perfect.
Supported inkjet printers
- Videojet 1510
- Videojet 1530
- Videojet 1610
- Videojet 1620
- Videojet 1630
- Videojet 1710
Printing labels based on OPC server data
The OPC Router sends data to the printer whenever new data is written to the ProductionLine1 table in the Production_DB database (1). Whenever the database trigger (1) is activated, the OPC Router reads data from the OPC server (2) and sends it, along with the constant values PL1 and 2973 (3), to the Videojet printer (4), which then prints the label.
In addition, the OPC Router features the monitoring and diagnostic tool (5), which allows for fast detection of any communication problem. It identifies configuration faults and informs you whenever the connection to the data sources or targets has broken.
