JOPCClient is an all-Java programming API that enables fast and smooth connection between Java applications and existing OPC servers for easy access.
Review of New JOPCClient version 1.201
If you're seeking reliable software for developing Java applications that can read and write data from any device supported by an OPC server, look no further than JOPCClient. The new version 1.201 includes several exciting features, such as dynamic lookup and browsing of item names on the OPC server, automatic detection of item datatypes, and UNICODE support that enables the use of international characters in group and item names.
JOPCClient runs exclusively on the Windows platform (NT/2000/XP) but is compatible with any JVM supporting the Sun JNI specification, including Sun's JVM, JDK 1.1, and JDK 1.2 and 1.3. OPI, the developers and integrators of industrial automation software, has used JOPCClient to create several mission-critical solutions that run 24/7 in production, ensuring that reliability and performance are at the forefront of this software's design.
The software comes with an easy-to-use Java programming API that requires no prior knowledge of DCOM programming, making it ideal for developers of all skill levels. It's also completely event-driven, ensuring maximum performance when monitoring and controlling a high number of items. The evaluation version is free and has the same functionality as the registered version, but with a limited number of connections and items that can be created.
The JOPCClient package includes a Java programming API (Jar file) and a JNI Win32 DLL, example source code to get started within minutes, a user manual in HTML format, and API documentation in javadoc HTML format. Additionally, the distribution now comes with a new example program, SwingBrowseExample, which utilizes the new features of JOPCClient. This ready-to-run OPC client allows users to select an OPC server from a dynamically generated list, visualizes the available items on that server in a JTree, and displays detailed item information in a detail pane.
Volume discounts are available if you're interested in purchasing 3-5 licenses (25% discount) or more than 5 licenses (35% discount). You must select the appropriate program number when making your order. Additionally, a Service agreement is available that includes support by telephone, fax, or email concerning the use and maintenance of the system. The Service agreement is available when purchasing 1 to 2 licenses or more than 3 licenses, and you must select the appropriate program number to purchase.
Overall, JOPCClient is an excellent choice for developers looking to create Java applications that can communicate with devices through an OPC server. Its user-friendly interface, event-driven performance, and new features make it a reliable and practical option for industrial automation software development.
