The core of applicom® solutions lies in our software tools; enabling fast integration of industrial communication into your applications. We offer a set of integrated tools comprising:

OPC Server

Woodhead interfaces support multi-protocol OPC Server. It can be used to simultaneously manage mutiple communication channels distributed on different interface cards. The OPC server includes a powerful optimization mechanism to reduce the number of network requests on the medium. New abilities include Managing equipment redundancy and A-B ControlLogix tag browsing compatible.

Configuration Console

Woodhead Console is an intuitive project management and configuration tool integrating powerful features that allow quick, easy, and labor-saving integration of your industrial communication with your application. Whatever the card and the protocol used, you always set up your project in the same way.

Highlights include:

Configuration Manager

Automatic PCI Cards Detection

Remote TCP/IP Configuration

Device Library

Device Automatic Detection

OPC Client for Testing

Etc

These kits allow you to develop in C Language any protocol (Ethernet TCP/IP or asynchronous Serial master/slave) and use it as any other protocol. Without extra development, your protocol is automatically integrated in applicom environment (configuration, diagnostic tools) and process data can be accessed via application interfaces such as DLL, Data servers (OPC, DDE/SuiteLink) or ActiveX control.
