OPC Data Logger Adds Support for OPC Unified Architecture (UA)

 

Software Toolbox is proud to announce the newest release of the OPC Data Logger V3.5.0.34, which includes new connectivity support for OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Servers.

The main benefit of OPC UA is that, unlike the OPC DA specification, this technology is not reliant on Microsoft's COM/DCOM layer. With support for the OPC UA standard now integrated into the OPC DataLogger, logging data from remote servers becomes even easier by making DCOM configuration headaches a thing of the past.

 

Using the OPC Data Logger along with one of OPC UA Servers, like our TOP Server or OmniServer,  can provide you with a complete OPC UA solution for your device connectivity and data logging needs.
