The TOP Server® Dataforth isoLynx Driver provides a communication interface to Dataforth isoLynx controllers and data acquisition devices with the same level of performance, stability and ease of configuration as any other TOP Server driver.
This driver provides data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and isoLynx SLX100 data acquisition systems supporting the isoLynx protocol over Serial and Ethernet connections. Data acquisition is optimized based on upstream client demand while data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling.
This driver was created in partnership with Dataforth and is endorsed as the official isoLynx SLX100 OPC interface for their products. In addition, this driver uses Dataforth supplied communication software modules that encapsulate the low-level communication details of the isoLynx Command Protocol.
