Technikerschule - Städtische Fachschule für Maschinenbau-, Metallbau-, Informatik- und Elektrotechnik in München, Germany, has used QuickOPC in one of its courses. In an automation + IT class of Dipl.-Ing. Reiner Doll, students learn about various levels in industrial automation. One of their tasks is to access a control system using OPC Unified Architecture from a Visual Basic program. QuickOPC is used to achieve this task, either directly, or in form of higher-level programming blocks prepared for the students. The material to the course can be found here.

Real Games (http://www.realgames.pt/), a creator of FACTORY I/O automation sandbox and HOME I/O, a smart house simulation, now uses QuickOPC in its visual programming environment, CONNECT I/O.

 CONNECT I/O with QuickOPC

CONNECT I/O is an application which is able to communicate with different types of technologies, both software and hardware, and works as a bridge between them. The application is a visual programming environment that allows you to draw data flows and programs. It enables the creation and control of data flows between input and output points. A built-in function blocks SoftPLC plugin is includedCONNECT I/O also presents a modular design which allows new functionalities to be implemented with plugins.

We are releasing QuickOPC version 5.31 today, with two key improvements.

  • New browsing controls (for OPC Classic and OPC UA) allow you to integrate OPC browsing right on your forms. Unlike with the browsing dialogs, you have full freedom in creating your own visual appearance and behavior of the form.
  • QuickOPC.NET now directly supports OPC XML-DA Specification Version 1.01. What's even better, there are no new components for this - the XML-DA support is seamlessly integrated with OPC Data Access. You can work with OPC XML-DA servers just as with COM-based OPC Data Access servers, simply by specifying the server's URL in place of the usual machine name and server class (ProgID).

It's THE event to meet members, OPC-board representatives, technology experts, evangelists, vendors, customers. Starting in 2011 at SAP, Germany and 2012 at Endress+Hauser, Switzerland and 2013 at Yokogawa, Netherland  the OPC-Day Europe 2014 is hosted by FESTO in their QH in Germany.

As a certified client product, QuickOPC for Unified Architecture is now in use by OPC Foundation certification test lab to perform the interoperability tests. QuickOPC-UA is used as one of the reference clients.
