Provides a native communication interface to AVEVA InTouch (formerly Wonderware) projects with the same performance, stability and ease of configuration as other TOP Server drivers.
Saves time integrating InTouch with other systems by automatically exposing InTouch data via TOP Server's OPC UA/DA interfaces, allowing rapid access from MES, ERP, SCADA, historians, etc. (For remote connections, OPC UA is recommended to avoid DCOM issues.)
Can poll InTouch for updates or receive change notifications from InTouch. Optionally only retrieve data for tags that OPC UA/DA clients are subscribed to.
Includes documentation on optimizing InTouch driver communications for best performance.
Available as a standalone driver or as part of the TOP Server Manufacturing Suite.
- ✔High Capacity Support – Supports up to 16 channels and 16 devices per channel (practical limits depend on system resources)
- ✔OPC Server for InTouch – Makes AVEVA InTouch act as an OPC UA and OPC DA server (provides OPC interfaces to InTouch data)
- ✔Native IEDA Integration – Uses AVEVA's native InTouch External Database Access (IEDA) toolkit for direct communications
- ✔Wide Version Compatibility – Compatible with InTouch 7.1 and above (up to but not including InTouch 2023; use native OPC UA in InTouch 2023+)
- ✔OPC Certified – OPC compliance tested and interoperability verified
- ✔Complete Tag Access – Handles all I/O, memory, local/remote, and system tags in InTouch
- ✔Automatic Tag Import – Automatically generates a TOP Server tag database from InTouch (plug-and-play tag import)
- ✔Flexible Update Modes – Three data update modes (driver polls InTouch, InTouch pushes updates to driver, or hybrid mode) to optimize communication
