In industrial environments, storing OPC DA to MS SQL ensures your real-time process data remains available for reporting, analytics, compliance, and long-term monitoring.
Using OPC Easy Archiver, you can collect data directly from OPC DA servers and save it in MS SQL Server databases, creating a scalable and efficient industrial data archiving solution.
Why Store OPC DA Data in MS SQL?
OPC DA (Data Access) is a standard protocol that allows software clients to read real-time data from industrial devices and control systems. However, real-time values can disappear if you don’t store them
MS SQL (Microsoft SQL Server) is a widely used relational database that organizes data in structured tables, making it easy to query, analyze, and integrate with dashboards or BI tools.
By storing OPC DA to MS SQL, you can:
-
Maintain continuous historical logs for reporting and compliance
-
Perform trend analysis on live and collected data
-
Integrate seamlessly with dashboards and BI tools
-
Ensure traceability and enterprise system integration
-
Turn industrial signals into actionable business intelligence
