The software allows for easy configuration of thousands of DDE items and enables DDE data exchange with multiple systems. It also offers storage options into process databases, generates alarms and reports, and provides digital dashboards for monitoring.
When it comes to software applications that use DDE communication in Windows operating systems, there are quite a few to choose from. These include office applications, LabView, Simulink, and the Windows Shell, all of which have built-in DDE functionality. In addition, many devices and systems such as PLCs, fire alarm systems, and I/O modules have device communication drivers that are implemented as DDE servers.
DDE can be used for both one-time data transfers and ongoing data exchanges, and the DDE client driver for OpcDbGateway and SAEAUT UNIVERSAL OPC Server allows for easy integration of DDE items into software applications for data collection, processing, and visualization. This driver is made up of two parts: the runtime and the configuring part.
The configuring part makes it easy to configure applications with a large number of DDE items quickly by providing tools for DDE server discovery, DDE item browsing, defining index ranges, and choosing cell ranges in MS Excel with the mouse. Preconfigured function blocks enable the use of full DDE functionality in complex applications.
The DDE Client Driver is capable of communicating with any server that supports the "CF TEXT" DDE data format, and the familiar "Application Name|TopicName!ItemName" method is used for addressing DDE server data. Multiple DDE servers can be connected with and the driver automatically reconnects when DDE servers come back online after being stopped.
The driver offers high productivity and flexibility for configuring DDE, with features such as hot links, reading/writing preconfigured groups of items using a request/poke loop approach, flexible configuration of individual item reading/writing, executing DDE commands, support for all major data types, logging of DDE functionality to file or database, and tools for browsing DDE servers and items, defining index ranges, and choosing cell ranges in MS Excel. Overall, this driver is a useful tool for integrating DDE items into software applications.
