VBOPC is the tool aids developers in connecting Visual Basic applications to OPC servers. VBOPC builds an in-process object based on the tags you browse and pick from your servers. Then in your Visual Basic program you reference that object with an object variable. Type the object name and press the period key and the Microsoft Intellisense in VB5 and 6 shows us a list of all the tags that we picked for our object! All the complexity of the OPC communications is taken care of inside the object. You can also include timestamp and quality information in your object. The object reports back the status of the OPC server so your VB program can monitor for failed connections and communications. The included help file shows in detail with example VB screens how to deploy your VBOPC object in your VB application.
