FactoryTalk Linx Data Bridge

FactoryTalk® Linx Data Bridge synchronizes data between
FactoryTalk® Live Data
servers that include
FactoryTalk® Linx
,
FactoryTalk®
Resource and Status,
OPC®
UA,
OPC
DA, and
FactoryTalk® View Site Edition (SE)
HMI tags. This can be used between devices and servers in a
FactoryTalk®
application that may not be compatible.
When source tag values or timestamps change on a server or device,
FactoryTalk Linx Data Bridge
replicates the values or timestamps to the destination tag on another server or device. Optional quality and timestamp tags provide metadata about the tag values.
FactoryTalk Linx Data Bridge
supports:
  • FactoryTalk® Linx
    devices
  • RSLinx® Classic
    devices
  • OPC
    UA servers that support subscriptions
  • OPC
    DA servers
  • FactoryTalk View SE
    HMI tags
The performances of design time tag browsing and runtime tag value updates are dependent on:
  • Source tag device or server capabilities
  • Destination tag device or server capabilities
  • FactoryTalk Linx Data Bridge
    host computer capabilities
  • Network design and traffic
For best performance, ensure source, destination, and
FactoryTalk Linx Data Bridge
host devices meet the system requirements listed in
