Wonderware SuiteLink

Software Toolbox has provided Wonderware users, integrators, OEMs, and channel partners in over 100 countries with best-in-class connectivity solutions since 1996. Isn't it time you got connected to your Wonderware applications by putting TOP Server to work for you. 

TOP Server’s support of Wonderware Corporation's FastDDE and SuiteLink simplifies the task of connecting the server with Wonderware applications such as InTouch and System Platform.  Built-in support of these Client/Server technologies allows you to quickly access device data with out the need to use an intermediary software bridge as is done when using an OPC only communication server.  This feature lets you connect to the TOP Server the same way you would any native Wonderware I/O server. 

If you have other applications that need to connect to your control system at the same time we recommend connecting your other applications through the TOP Server too, so you can take advantage of it’s ability to optimize your control systems network communications to all your applications. 

The FastDDE/SuiteLink Settings can be found in the Project Properties as show below.  The Timing Setting is how often the Wonderware clients are updated when values change and have no relation to how often a topic is updated.  Topic update rates are controlled through the Alias map. Click for an Application Note on Understanding how to change your scan rates to the PLC or device.

We provide detailed Applications notes for connecting with InTouch and System Platform (ArchestrA).  Also see the Topics/Alias Map pages to learn more about how to take advantage of the TOP Servers advanced features for Wonderware Connectivity.
