OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Toolkits for Windows and embedded Systems

Softing's OPC Development Toolkits for OPC UA assist software engineers in implementing effective OPC Clients/Servers and embedding OPC UA technology directly into target devices.

Softing, the world leader in providing conformant OPC development tools, continues to enhance its OPC Unified Architecture (UA) Toolkits for Windows, VxWorks, and Linux. The latest version of the OPC UA Toolkit comes with significant performance optimization, support of Kernel Mode in VxWorks systems, more programming support and functional extensions.

Softing's Toolkits are currently the only products available that include all necessary OPC libraries to develop OPC Clients and Servers based on the Classic OPC DA, Alarms & Events, XML-DA, and the OPC UA specification.

With more than 1,650 companies relying on Softing's OPC development kits to generate thousands of compliant OPC products, Softing holds the lion's share of the world-market for OPC development tools. Today, a rapidly growing number of these companies are adopting Softing's reliable and easy-to-use OPC UA Toolkits.

The OPC UA Toolkits are designed to assist software engineers to elegantly implement effective OPC Clients/Servers or to embed high-performance OPC UA technology directly into target devices like PLCs, DCS systems, or operator panels. One of the major advantages of OPC UA is its independence from the Windows operating system. Softing's engineering team took advantage of this fact and has already ported its OPC UA software to Linux. In addition, Softing has joined the WindRiver Partner Validation Program. As part of the program, Softing will integrate and validate its OPC UA toolkits with Wind River's market-leading embedded operating systems, VxWorks and Wind River Linux.
