Graybox OPC Server Toolkit

Graybox OPC Server Toolkit is a universal tool for developing high-performance OPC servers. Using this product eliminates the need for the developer to implement multiple interfaces and OPC server methods, eliminates the need for COM programming.

The Graybox OPC Server Toolkit allows you to significantly reduce development time. Depending on the complexity of the OPC server, the time for its design and implementation using the Graybox OPC Server Toolkit is usually from a few days to a month.

The following specifications are implemented in the OPC Server Toolkit:

- OPC Common 1.00;
- OPC Data Access 1.00;
- OPC Data Access 2.05a;
- OPC Data Access 3.00 (only for versions of Graybox OPC Server Toolkit 3.x).

Graybox OPC Server Toolkit is fully compatible with Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003. Windows 95/98 / Me operating systems are not supported.

The product can be used in any software development environment that supports C ++ and dynamic linking: Microsoft Visual Studio, Borland C ++ Builder, Borland Developer Studio, etc.

In one C ++ class all the OPC-server functionality is implemented, namely: - all necessary interfaces and OPC methods;
- factory class COM object;
- methods for registering the OPC server;
- methods of manipulating the OPC-server, its groups, tags, cache values, etc .;
- effective algorithms for synchronizing simultaneous access to the server from a multitude of clients.

The class is designed in such a way that programmers do not have compatibility problems with other technologies (such as ATL, MFC and VCL).

The distribution kit includes:

- Graybox Software libraries for creating OPC-servers;
- Graybox Software documentation;
- OPC Foundation specifications;
- examples of OPC-servers.
