Welcome

The Wonderware ABTCP DAServer (referred to as the DAServer through the remainder of this user’s guide) is a Microsoft® Windows® application program that acts as a communications protocol server. Its user interface is a snap-in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) program, which is part of the ArchestrA System Management Console (SMC) suite of utilities.

This DAServer allows other Windows application programs access to data in PLCs (also referred to as devices) attached to an Ethernet network or through a Pyramid Integrator module. The DAServer requires a TCP/IP package that supports the WinSock interface standard. It can access data directly via the Ethernet in programmable controllers such as SLC-5/05, Ethernet PLC-5, or PLC-5/250 using an Ethernet Interface Module (a Pyramid EI integrator module).

While the DAServer is primarily intended for use with Wonderware InTouch® Version 7.11 Patch 02 and later, it may be used by any Microsoft Windows program capable of acting as a DDE, FastDDE, SuiteLink™, or OPC client.

The server can operate in either stand-alone mode or with ArchestrA through Device Integration objects.
