OPC Client Kit is feature-rich and robust set of library code and components for consuming OPC data.

OPC Client Kit cannot be purchased separately. It is only available in conjunction with custom development services provided by OPC Labs.

• Specifications: OPC Data Access 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, OPC Alarms and Events, OPC Universal Architecture (under development). Tested for compliance with standards and interoperability.
• Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 development environments. Custom code in native C++, or in combination with any .NET language.
• Clients run under operating systems ranging from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
• Multi-threaded, non-blocking design for high performance.
• No limits to number of connections, subscriptions, or tags.
• Internal messaging layer provides isolation between OPC communications and the custom client code, resulting in high resiliency.
• Automatic server status checking, detection of connection problems and server failures, and automatic reconnects. Maintains client state and reconstructs the internal state of OPC server after reconnection.
• Supports all flavors of OPC synchronous and asynchronous reads and writes, subscriptions, browsing, and property access.
• Multiple independent OPC server connections.
• Intelligent OPC Group parameter optimization (optional).
• Full source code included with delivery.

The OPC Client Kit has a modular architecture with clear separation of responsibilities.
