TOP Server Now Delivers an OPC-A&E Interface, New Drivers and Integration Options that Lower Integration Cost & Risk
Charlotte, NC, October 22, 2009 - Software Toolbox® has released TOP Server Version 5.1, powered by Kepware, to its client base and channel partners. This release delivers enhancements focused on lowering the cost and risk of integrating custom applications and broadening the range of devices TOP Server connects to HMI/SCADA systems.
