Overview
ClientAce provides tools to help developers easily build an OPC client application. ClientAce consists of two
main parts: the .NET Application Programming Interface (API) and the DA Junction. Descriptions of the parts
are as follows:
l ClientAce .NET API: The ClientAce .NET API provides C# and Visual Basic .NET language users with a
simple, intuitive, and optimized class library to quickly develop OPC client applications for accessing
OPC servers. For more information, refer to ClientAce .NETAPI Assembly.
l ClientAceDA Junction: The ClientAce DA Junction is a customized .NET control that enables Visual
Basic .NET or C# programmers to develop OPC client applications that can access a variety of OPC
servers. No detailed knowledge of OPC Data Access (DA) interfaces is required. The DA Junction will
perform the connection handling procedure between the custom client application and the OPC
server, and will monitor and reconnect when necessary. For more information, refer to ClientAceDA_
Junction.
Note: When building advanced custom OPC client applications that require more control over OPC
functionality, the ClientAce .NET API is recommended.
