Advanced Simulator Driver OPC Server

The Advanced Simulator Driver was designed to plug into our industrial based communications server product. This product supplies reliable data access to any HMI, SCADA, Historian, or Enterprise application that supports OPC, DDE, FastDDE, and SuiteLink. This driver provides single-point access to multiple ODBC data sources via ODBC. The driver simulates live data by traversing through all the records in a selected table at a rate set by the user. Using the power and speed of OPC, the server is able to offer ODBC data to any OPC/DDE enabled client.

Plug-in Driver Features

• Supports the option to automatically start at the first record when all the records in the table have been read or stop once the last record has been reached
• Supports the internal tag (MoveTo) so the user can move to any specified record at any time
• Multiple connection sessions to multiple ODBC data sources
• OPC DA
• Tags updated regularly from the database
• Drag and drop editing, and CSV import and export for manipulating large numbers of tags easily
• New tags can be added to your application at any time - even at runtime
• Dynamic table access method
• Simple and self-evident user interface will allow users to get their data immediately
