Wonderware SuiteLink Support

Software Toolbox has provided Wonderware users,


integrators, OEMs, and channel partners in over 100
countries with best-in-class connectivity solutions since
1996. Isn't it time you got connected to your Wonderware
applications by putting TOP Server to work for you.

TOP Server’s support of Wonderware SuiteLink and FastDDE protocols simplifies the
task of connecting the server with Wonderware applications such as InTouch and
ArchestrA System Platform (Application Server). Built-in support of these Client/Server
technologies allows you to quickly access device data without the need to use an
intermediary software bridge as is done when using an OPC only communication
server. This feature lets you connect to the TOP Server the same way you would any
native Wonderware OI server.

NOTE: To use the TOP Server interface for FastDDE/Suitelink the following must
be true:

1. The Wonderware software is installed locally or the Wonderware Common


Components (or ArchestrA Framework) are already installed on the same
machine prior to installing TOP Server.
2. The “Wonderware Suitelink and FastDDE Interface” option must be selected from
the Native Client Interfaces during TOP Server installation.

3. For FastDDE Users – The TOP Server must run in Interactive Mode.

If you have other applications that need to connect to your control system at the
same time, we recommend connecting your other applications through the TOP
Server as well, so you can take advantage of its ability to optimize your control
systems network communications to all of your applications.

The FastDDE/SuiteLink Settings can be found in the Project Properties as show


below. The Timing setting is how often the Wonderware clients are updated
when values change and have no relation to how often a topic is updated. Topic
update rates are controlled through the Alias map. Click for an Application Note
on Understanding how to change your scan rates to the PLC or device.

We provide detailed application notes for connecting with Wonderware InTouch,


Historian, and System Platform (ArchestrA). Click here to see our application
note list.
