Multiple connections – Redundancy Seamless, split-second switchovers, only triggers when the data source changes. PLC OPC Server Switchover can trigger on changes in point value or quality, for a single point or any point in a group. Cogent Data. Hub Allows selection of a preferred data source. Network Cogent Data. Hub OPC Client No dependency on timers reduces switchover latencies. PLC OPC Server Cogent Data. Hub Rate of change monitor to switch when data flow slows down. Complete access to both data sources at all times to facilitate diagnostics.
