SuiteLink

The SuiteLink communications protocol is based on the TCP/IP protocol. Use SuiteLink for your high-speed industrial applications, as it provides these features:

• Value Time Quality (VTQ), in which a timestamp and quality indicator are associated with all data values delivered to VTQ-aware clients. The InTouch HMI is a VTQ-aware client whose tag data is delivered with a VTQ indicator.

• Extensive diagnostics of the data throughput, the server loading, computer resource consumption, and network transport are made accessible through the Microsoft Windows operating system performance monitor.

• Consistent high data volumes can be maintained between applications regardless if the applications are on a single node or distributed over a large number of nodes.

SuiteLink is not a replacement for DDE, FastDDE, or NetDDE. Each connection between a client and a server depends on your network requirements.
