The products in the Communication Tools line were conceived to satisfy the need to rapidly fit your own software applications with the capability of communicating reliably with physical (field) devices and towards supervision and human/machine interfacing (SCADA/HMI) applications.

The products in the Communication Tools line are aimed at all those companies who develop software applications internally, either themselves or for third parties, in Visual Basic or Visual C++ and which need to communicate with physical field devices or with other supervisors or HMI applications.

The advantages for programmers lie in the possibility of easily providing their own applications with highly reliable communication capability.

The drivers in the Communication Tools line are sold under licence. The licence is valid for only one instance of each application made.

In order to operate, some drivers may require a hardware key or a software activation code.
