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.
Zebra Printer Plug-In
Zebra printers are used in many industrial labelling applications. Zebra printers are supplied with printing information via the Zebra Programming Language (ZPL). ZPL is also implemented by many other labelling systems.
With the OPC Router and its Zebra Printer Plug-In, in combination with other OPC Router plug-ins, Zebra printers can easily be supplied with data from various systems. Data transfers are configured in the OPC Router graphically through its drag & drop configuration.
Zebra label printer integration
In the picture below, you can see an OPC Router connection configuration that utilises an OPC UA client, reading data from an OPC UA server, databases for SELECT and UPDATE and a Zebra label printer for printing labels.
Whenever the Data change trigger (1) is activated, the PrintOrder-ID is read out from the OPC UA server (2). Data that corresponds to the PrintOrder-ID is read out from the database (3) and sent to the Zebra label printer (4). Finally, a timestamp – i.e. the time when the label was printed (6) – is written to the corresponding PrintOrder-ID in the database (5).
System requirements
Computer performance
OPC Router is a server application and needs to run on suitably equipped hardware. We recommend using at least the following components:
- Multi-core processor,
- at least 4 GB RAM,
- hard disk space (with RAID 5 technology).
Operating system
We recommend using Microsoft Windows Server operating systems (see below). Client operating systems (64-bit) can also be used for testing purposes.
- Windows Server 2008 x64
- Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
- Windows Server 2012 x64
- Windows Server 2012 R2 x64
- Windows Server 2016 x64
- Windows Server 2019 x64
- Windows 7 x64
- Windows 8 x64
- Windows 8.1 x64

Available OPC servers
OPC servers in OPC Router are used to connect control systems and other devices over OPC UA, OPC DA 4.0, or OPC XML.
To connect an OPC server, you must purchase a Module OPC license.
Available database servers
Database servers must be installed separately and are not part of the OPC Router installation. The OPC Router supports the following database systems:
- MS SQL
- Oracle
- MySQL
- MS Access
- XMLdatabases accessible by ODBC
Plug-ins for connecting database systems are not part of the Basic license, but you need to purchase the appropriate plug-in separately.
SAP-Plug in
The SAP Plug-in supports SAP systems version 4.0b and higher. For functionality, you need to have the so-called
SAP Log-on pad installed on the server where the OPC Router is running.
The SAP Plug-in is licensed and is not part of the Basic license.
New features in the OPC Router 5.1 data hub
The new version of OPC Router 5 brings some big changes. The biggest change is the user interface, which brings the user more comfort when working with the program and the ability to work in Linux, macOS, etc. There are also new options for creating user accounts, improvements in application performance optimization and many other improvements.
