FOXBOROUGH, MA — April 14, 2009 — Today, ICONICS, a 2008 Microsoft Gold Certified Partner of the Year and provider of Web-enabled, OPC-based, HMI/SCADA Visualization and Manufacturing Intelligence software for Microsoft Windows® operating systems, announced the release of OPC ToolWorX™ Version 3.50.
OPC ToolWorX is ICONICS’ rapid OPC development toolkit, which supplies everything needed to quickly design OPC server products, including the infrastructure and software architecture required for designing an OPC server. It contains sample source code, documentation, example servers, a client test application and a Microsoft Visual Basic® test application.
OPC ToolWorX Version 3.50 offers the following new features:
“ICONICS continues to further OPC technology, as shown in OPC ToolWorX Version 3.50,” said Tim Donaldson, OPC Product Manager at ICONICS. “ICONICS created the industry’s first OPC toolkit with integrated OPC Data Access and OPC Alarm and Events in one solution. Over 250 companies depend on ICONICS for their OPC toolkit. ICONICS is an active member of the OPC Foundation and works to ensure that its OPC-based innovations reach customers as quickly as possible.”
“ICONICS continues to innovate in the area of OPC-based solutions,” said Tom Burke, President and Executive Director of The OPC Foundation, “The latest updates to OPC ToolWorX, as well as its wide range of OPC Servers and related tools, demonstrates ICONICS’ commitment as an OPC Foundation charter member to further OPC technology in multiple industries.”
“OPC communications technology continues to gain traction in process control applications worldwide, used as a tool to, for example, acquire, analyze and report real-time asset status and current conditions from multiple data sources and control systems,” said Craig Resnick, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group. “Solutions such as ICONICS’ OPC ToolWorX, are designed to simplify the process of implementing OPC communications technology, providing a server toolkit to collect and measure this process data, which can be used by manufacturers for providing key performance indicators such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), while leveraging the latest versions of both Microsoft Visual Studio and Windows CE.”
In addition to the newly added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and 2005, OPC ToolWorX V3.50 will still support Microsoft Visual Studio 6 and .NET 2003. An important note for those developing Windows CE-based OPC Servers: Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ is no longer supported for the creation of Windows CE OPC Servers. New support is offered for this with either Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.
