TOP Server Torque Tool Ethernet OPC Driver
Reliable Connectivity for Torque Tool Devices
The TOP Server® Torque Tool Ethernet Driver provides a communication interface to Torque Tool devices with the same level of performance, stability and ease of configuration as any other TOP Server driver. Data acquisition is optimized based on upstream client demand while data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling.
This driver provides data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and devices using the Torque Tool Open Protocol and Ford Ethernet Protocol (FEP) over TCP connections, including Stanley QPM Nutrunners as well as Atlas Copco MicroTorque and Power Focus units and others.
Extensive Message ID (MID), command set and job ID support, including Alarms and much more. See Torque Tool Driver Feature Details
