Crystal OPC
Is an advanced visual interface that provides easy access to command-and-control systems. It enables users to monitor, manage, and control complex processes through a clear, intuitive, and user-friendly platform
System Features
Developed by Crystal Vision in 2006, Crystal OPC was created to simplify human–machine interaction and make complex control systems easier to operate.
Its key capabilities include:
-
Real-time monitoring of system processes and performance
-
Control of multiple parameters according to customer and programmer requirements
-
Structured configuration of system settings and properties
-
Clear, accessible presentation of advanced graphical reports
-
Exporting reports and data to Excel
-
Historical records of system activity, usage, and operations
Application
Crystal OPC supports Allen-Bradley and Unitronics controllers, enabling fast data communication and comprehensive control of controller parameters. The interface can be configured to perform virtually any operation within the control system.
Typical applications include:
-
Displaying and monitoring every controller address at predefined intervals
-
Setting fixed alarms for specific values and converting measurements into the required physical units
-
Assigning clear, meaningful names to controller addresses—for example, “Temperature in Cell 7, Incubator 3”
-
Recording values in the system history at user-defined intervals
-
Providing multiple levels of alerts, including SMS notifications, email messages, and real-time visual alerts on-site
-
Enabling secure remote monitoring and control from a phone or computer
