This product adds an OPC Server interface onto Wonderware InTouch systems. Unlike other solutions, this product automatically configures itself to expose your InTouch tags as OPC items, saving significant engineering time. Once installed, the product can expose all of the tags in the InTouch tag database as OPC items for OPC client applications such as ERP, MRP, Historian systems and others. Read/Write or Read only access supported, all user configurable.
|
This product saves you time and money in integrating InTouch systems with other enterprise systems in your facility. By exposing the data in your InTouch system via the widely accepted OPC Data Access standard, you can be assured that once you install this driver on your InTouch node, you will be able to get at your InTouch data from a wide variety of applications. No other solution for exposing InTouch data by way of OPC provides the ease-of-setup and performance that the TOP Server InTouch Client Driver provides.

Simple Setup
The ease of setup of this driver is one of its major benefits.
- Important: Starting with TOP Server V5, it is required to either run the TOP Server in Interactive Mode (rather than as a service) or to set the TOP Server V5 service to run as a specific user when using the InTouch Client Driver. (Click for Instructions)
- Install the product on the PC with your target InTouch node and launch it
- Through our simple point-and-click interface, tell the driver the location on the computer where the InTouch project is found.
- The driver will automatically build the OPC tag database for your project
- Connect with your OPC client

Maintenance Features
The driver exposes an OPC item named _AutoCreateTagDatabase - which when written to, will cause the driver to refresh its tag list with the latest available tags from InTouch. Configurable settings for handling new tags, deleted tags, etc are available in the driver. Your OPC client can write to this system tag at any time to trigger a refresh of the available items.
Flexible Performance Options
Because this driver connects to Intouch using the InTouch External Database Access (IDEA) Toolkit from Wonderware, you can be assured that the performance of reading the data from the InTouch database will be at its best.
We also give you the ability to set whether or not the driver should poll InTouch for updates, have InTouch advise the driver of changed data, or a combination. You may even optionally tell the driver only get data from InTouch for tags that an OPC client has subscribed to.
Our extensive help file includes a section on Optimizing Your InTouch Client Driver Communications that covers best practices for maximizing throughput while minimizing impact on InTouch performance.
Other Powerful Features in the TOP Server include: - Tag Browsing
- Extensive help files and examples of how to use the TOP Server with popular OPC clients
- 32-bit high performance multi-threaded drivers
- Runs as a service to allow auto-start for unattended operation
- Works with any OPC client or DDE, AdvancedDDE client application
- Supports Intellution PDB interface-makes this driver look like a native Intellution driver.
