OPC Software from the Market Leader

The OPC Classic Toolkits are part of the Softing OPC Toolkits family, which is the world's most comprehensive OPC development software offering both Classic OPC DA, AE and XML-DA as well as OPC UA. Featuring a large collection of libraries, function classes and sample applications, the OPC Classic Toolkits significantly simplify the creation of OPC DA, AE and XML-DA components.

Competitive Advantage Through Extensive Experience

Since 1997 the OPC Classic Toolkits have been continuously enhanced in response to evolving technologies and customer needs. Several thousand products having been developed with Softing's OPC Toolkits are in use at more than 1,600 companies around the world. Thanks to many performance optimizations the OPC Toolkits are as proven in time-critical control tasks as in complex projects comprising several hundred thousand items.

Time and Cost Saving OPC Product Development

Using the included wizard, it takes only a few steps to select the DA, AE and XML-DA functionality for your product, specify the development environment and programming language (C++, Visual Basic .NET or C#), and configure basic settings. The wizard automatically generates your OPC client and/or server frame application. All that is left to do is to implement the application-specific code. OPC specific functionality, like:
> create, browse and manage the OPC namespace or event area  
> create, delete, read and write OPC items and  
> event management handling 
is already in place and ready to use after the wizard steps have been completed. The Toolkits save several months of work and allows the software designer to concentrate on his project goal and not on learning the intricacies of DCOM, SOAP, or other technologies.
