The Widest Variety of Connectivity Drivers for AVEVA SuiteLink Systems

Native SuiteLink support for AVEVA (formerly Wonderware) software

Software Toolbox has provided AVEVA (formerly Wonderware) users, integrators, OEMs, and channel partners in over 100 countries with best-in-class connectivity solutions since 1996.

With an integrated SuiteLink interface, no OI Gateway or FSGateway is required to get your InTouch, System Platform, Historian, MES and other SuiteLink capable solutions connected to a wide range of additional device types. Connect to TOP Server the same way you would to any native AVEVA OI, DA or IO servers. 

TOP Server also supports industry standard OPC DA, OPC UA, OPC A&E interfaces enabling it to integrate other applications at the same time it serves your AVEVA applications.

Detailed application notes and how-to videos for connecting with AVEVA InTouch, Historian, and System Platform (ArchestrA) are available:

Using SuiteLink or FastDDE with TOP Server

The FastDDE/SuiteLink Settings can be found in the Project Properties in the TOP Server Configuration. Ensure that "Enable FastDDE/SuiteLink connections to the server" is checked/enabled as this interface is disabled by default.

The default "Application Name" is "server_runtime" but can be set to any application name you would like to use when defining your SuiteLink or FastDDE connections in the AVEVA solutions that will be connecting to TOP Server.

The Timing setting allows FastDDE/SuiteLink data to be batched up for transfer to client application - it is important to note that this setting has no relation to how often data is requested from your devices.

Topic update rates determine the device poll rate and are controlled through the Alias Map for non-OPC connections. Click for an Application Note on Understanding how to change your scan rates to the PLC or device.
