- Advanced Features
Suite focused on simulating device data for upstream client testing and integration, using TOP Server interfaces such as OPC DA, OPC UA, and AVEVA SuiteLink.
Includes drivers that (1) can generate simulated values from ODBC compliant data sources and (2) can act as a PC based device database or memory map with optional value retention across server restarts.
- Plays back simulated 'live' values by stepping through records in a chosen ODBC table at a user-defined rate
- Can keep multiple concurrent sessions open to one or more ODBC-compliant data sources
- CSV import/export support for bulk tag management
- Can function as a PC-based device database / memory-map container
- Supports item persistence so tag values can be retained between TOP Server runs
- Multi-threaded architecture for high scalability
- Wizard-based runtime configuration changes (Properties Editor)
- Secure User Management
- Built-in Device/Network Redundancy
- Auto-Demotion (Slow Polling)
- Diagnostics (OPC / communications / event log)

Everything you need for reliable industrial connectivity
ODBC Data Simulation
Simulates live data by traversing through all records in a user table at a configurable rate with support for multiple ODBC connection sessions.
CSV Import/Export
Easily handle large tag configurations with CSV import and export capabilities for streamlined setup and deployment.
Memory Map Container
Acts as device database or memory map container with full persistence of tag values between runs.
Auto-Start/Stop Control
Option to automatically start or stop after record traversal with internal 'MoveTo' tag support for jumping to specific records.
Runtime Tag Management
Add new tags anytime, even at runtime, providing maximum flexibility for dynamic testing scenarios.
Multi-Threaded Architecture
Built on TOP Server's high-performance multi-threaded architecture for maximum scalability and reliability.
- Playback behavior control: restart at the first record after reaching end-of-table, or stop at the last record
- Includes an internal 'MoveTo' tag concept to jump to a specific record on demand
- CSV import/export for large tag counts (bulk edits)
- Supports adding new tags at any time, including while the server is running
- Item persistence support (retain tag values between runs)
