The Modular server supports multiple simultaneous communications protocols from within a single application.
The Modular approach allows the user to license one or more drivers to deliver the exact functionality required for your application.
No need to pay for unused bundled drivers.
Licensing can be fully accomplished online via the Internet or by telephone.
These drivers are self contained; no third party driver purchase is required.
This server has passed the OPC Data Access 2.04 compliance test.
Fully functioning 30 day demos can be freely downloaded from the Automated Solutions website.
Future updates include A Serial DF1 driver, which is currently under development; a DH485 driver with direct support for 1747-PIC and AIC+ modules; ControlLogix gateway support is slated for addition to the next release of the A-B Ethernet driver; Modbus RTU, ASCII, TCP, and Plus will be added soon after the A-B driver lineup is rolled out.
