 Rapid Application Development and Deployment, delivered!
Click any of the links to the left for more information.
 Features:
- Complete suite of 100% managed-code .NET components, usable in VB.NET, C# or any language supporting .NET
- NO CODE required - point and click. Of course, an API exists for those wanting programmatic access
- Smart Client Deployment - create self-updating applications at the click of a button (aka: click-once or xcopy-deployment)
- Automatically handles all OPC and I/O for you, allowing you to focus on your application requirements.
- Bi-directional data-binding with your OPC Tags. You can automatically display tag values, change backcolors
based on the quality of a Tag, change the position/location of a component, and much more, without writing any code!
How it works:
When you drag and drop any of these components onto a form, you simply highlight the control and then set their
properties in the Visual Studio .NET IDE Properties dialog. This is how you specify which OPC Tag to bind to. Once bound, just run your application. It's that easy! No coding required.
What Types of Applications Can I Build With These Controls?
You can quickly and effortlessly build simple, or complex HMI/SCADA WinForm applications, and deploy them using Smart Client technology. You gain all the benefits of .NET development, including saying goodbye to DCOM.
NOT JUST WINFORMS... because the entire OPCSystems .NET API is exposed to you, you can actually create ANY kind of .NET applications, such as: WinForms, Console, Service, WCF, WPF, WebServices and Office Add
-ins.
Are the components REALLY code-less?
YES. Look, you just have to see for yourself. Check out the videos and tutorials and actually SEE how you can build
rich OPC-enabled applications without writing a single line of code. Furthermore, these components are NOT code-generators, so no code is being created anywhere.
But, how difficult is it to deploy my custom applications?
It's not. Use the smart-client technology (option only available in the 2.0 Build) and let it do all of the hard work for you
. Now, if you're using other 3rd-party components within your application, definitely ask the vendors of those tools if they support smart-client technology first.
What components exist within this toolkit?
You will have access to the following 100% managed .NET components that have OPC capabilities built-in for pure code-less development:
Button, CheckBox, ComboBox, Data, GroupBox, HScrollBar, Label, ListBox, Panel, PictureBox, RadioButton, StatusBar, TextBox, TrackBar, VScrollBar
