SLIK-DA is a simple and flexible software tool for building robust OPC Data Access servers. SLIK-DA is an ActiveX and MS.NET Windows Form Control designed for quickly adding OPC DA server interfaces to your application.

You write your application to use SLIK-DA's properties, methods, and events. SLIK-DA manages all the OPC and COM details for you.

Simple. SLIK-DA provides helper methods and default implementations for OPC item browsing and validation, for example. Implement a basic server in minutes. Read the data sheet for details. Step through the tutorial for proof.

Flexible. SLIK-DA's object model does not limit the design of you server. Start simple and then override SLIK-DA built-in features to implement your server, your way.

Customer Reviews

"... I am really happy with the product (SLIK-DA), and thank you for the really fine samples and all your help. This product is GOLD!"

        Frank Sykes, Analytical Technology, Inc. (www.analyticaltechnology.com)


"
I would like to comment that I've spent several days evaluating toolkits from various vendors (targeting rapid VB development) and your product appears to be of very high quality and completeness. For example, I was testing how the OPC server reacts when a client process "freezes" or "crashes". Among other vendor components, I discovered that a client failure would compromise the server! However, your implementation demonstrates its robustness by gracefully handling these occurrences. This gives me confidence toward incorporating your product into our own software development."

Todd Smith, Quality Engineered Systems Ltd. (www.qesgroup.com)


"... We have been evaluating ActiveX based OPC Server Toolkits. After that evaluation we selected your SLIK OPC DA ActiveX control. The SLIK OPC DA ActiveX is of high quality and very simple to use. It was also fast enough. It's object oriented design perfectly fitted our design".

        Throstur Jonsson CTO, DometicSoft, Inc. (www.domesticsoft.com)
