InstrumentationOPC ActiveX Controls Speed Application Development
While Helping Manufacturers Manage Cost
November 9, 2001 Charlotte, NC: Software Toolbox has released a set of OPC Enabled Instrumentation ActiveX controls (www.InstrumentationOPC.com) that provide users, OEMs, and
integrators with the software tools to rapidly build professional, interactive operator displays for data gathered from OPC servers across the enterprise. The control systems engineer can add the
ActiveX to their application or ActiveX container package (i.e. common HMI's), and through an intuitive point-and-click
interface, connect to local and remote OPC servers to display live process data without any programming. Packages are
available with popular instrumentation objects such as gauges, knobs, switches, toggles, sliders, analog and digital
instrument displays, spectrum displays and more. With packages starting as low as $449 for a development license and
runtime-free deployment licenses available, these OPC Enabled Instrumentation ActiveX controls offer users exceptional
value at a time where manufacturers are seeking ways to manage costs while still improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their manufacturing operations.
John Weber, President of Software Toolbox emphasizes that "For years we have had a large number of customers who created applications for collection, analysis,
sharing, and logging of shop floor data using tools such as Visual Basic – with these controls and our extensive line of OPC servers (www.ToolboxOPC.com) users now
have the tools unprecedented ease of use and time to market for creating applications in Visual Basic – with engineers being told to find ways to get the job
done with less money in these tight economic times, tools like these can be of great value to the manufacturer who wants to prepare their manufacturing facility for the
day the economy improves while minimizing expenses in the near term."
These OPC Enabled Instrumentation ActiveX Controls are available for purchase
online for immediate delivery from Software Toolbox. For more information including online tutorials and a free downloadable demonstration package visit the dedicated website for this product line at www.InstrumentationOPC.com
