When you buy a TOP Server UCON License you get all the TOP Server built-in features.

The TOP Server User-Configurable Driver allows you to quickly and easily create a device driver for serial or ethernet devices for which an off-the-shelf driver solution is not available.  The UCON driver is completely integrated into the TOP Server just like the large number of other drivers in the TOP Server family.

The difference with UCON is that it allows you to configure a set of “transactions” through the user interface based on the protocol format required by your device.  This makes it possible to integrate non-standard devices into your control system in the same fashion as PLC’s and other devices with existing drivers.
