applicom Communication Software is available for both Serial and Ethernet protocols.

Serial:
use a standard off-the-shelf Serial interface card to connect an OPC application running on a PC to a Serial network or device. This solution provides a cost-effective alternative where timing is not critical and unsolicited data is not required. If performance and timing are critical to your application, then the applicom Serial interface card is a solid choice.

Ethernet:
use a standard off-the-shelf Ethernet interface card to connect a PC to Industrial Ethernet. This solution provides a cost-effective alternative where timing is not critical and unsolicited data is not required. If performance and timing are cirtical to your application, then the applicom Ethernet interface card is a solid choice.

Part Numbers:
DRL-ALL-SWL-x
Software interface 1000 tags, all protocols included
DRL-ALL-SWF-x
Software interface full tags, all protocols included

x=type of protection where:
S= Software Key
P=Dongle for parallel port
U=Dongle for USB port (not supported on Windows NT4)

applicom® Console

applicom Console is an intuitive peroject management and configuration tool integrating powerful features that allow the quick and easy integration of industrial communication with your application. Regardless the protocol, set up is the same. Highlights include:

Configuration Manager > Automatic PCI Cards Detection > Remote TCP/IP Configuration > Equipment Library > Network Detection > Automatic Topic Naming > Card Status Info Bar > OPC Client for Testing

applicom® OPC Server

applicom® interface support a multi-protocol OPC Server. It can be used to simultaneously manage up to 32 communication channels distributed over 8 cards. The OPC server includes a powerful optimization mechanism to reduce the number of network requests on the medium. New abilities include Managing equipment redundancy and A-B ControlLogix tag browsing compatible.

applicom® Communication Activex Control

The applicom® Communication ActiveX Control allows you to quickly and easily develop applications requiring communications with industrial devices. Using one ActiveX, your applications can transparently communicate with a large variety of industrial devices without any development related to the communications protocols. NEW! Programming wizard to accelerate development and usability through Visual Basic.Net.

applicom® Protocol Development Toolkits

These kits allow you to develop in C Language any protocol (Ethernet TCP/IP or asynchronous Serial master/slave) and use it as any other protocol. Without extra development, your protocol is automatically integrated in applicom environment (configuration, diagnostic tools) and process data can be accessed via application interfaces such as DLL, Data servers (OPC, DDE/SuiteLink) or ActiveX control.

applicom development toolkit for asynchronous Serial protocol
Part Number: APP-KIT-SER

applicom development toolkit for asynchronous Serial protocol
Part Number: APP-KIT-SER

This kit enables you to develop industrial tasks which will run in the multitask kernel of the card for outstanding performances. These tasks may be: data treatment, embedded cyclic treatments, timetable management and gateway functionality.
Part Number: APP-KIT-SAT

SST PICS Pro I/O simulation software simplifies real-world systems and machines controlled by DCS, PLC and PC control systems. The entire system can be tested (communication, sequencing/interlocking, HMI/SCADA, alarms), all emergency faults can be verified, and operators trained, with minimal downtime.
