Tie data from your OPC server of PLC to ANY .NET, ActiveX, or User-Defined control without having to write a single line of code.
Add the Extender to your form, set a couple of properties,
build, and run. Your .NET application now has interaction with OPC or direct PLC communications without you writing a single line of code.
Sample Extender Dialog Box. Assign an Item to a property on any Winform component, and tag subscriptions are done for you
automatically. No Coding Required.
See for yourself how quickly you can enable data acquisition on your .NET forms using the Extender!
The Extender offers:
- OPC or direct PLC connections to any .NET or ActiveX component in your application by
extending the properties of that component - no coding required.
- Ful integration with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005.
- Runtime Free licenses.
- Both GUI and API access for those applications that need to control OPC or PLC connections programatically.
- Future Extenders (OPC UA, AB/GE/Siemens connectivity, etc.) can be simply dropped
into your application. Switch PLCs in minutes, not weeks.

Simple yet Powerful API interface gives you complete control of your OPC or PLC data for those
projects when you need to write code.
When the UI interface isn't enough, when you need the control
of an API, we've designed the Extender with a simplified and powerful set of API commands. These include:
- Subscriptions
- Reading
- Writing
- Browsing are all accessible
The Extender API is perfect for console apps, data monitors,
data collection programs, or any other application where a GUI is not required.
Not only that, we put the same ease of use into the the API as
we did with the GUI. So if you change PLCs or OPC Servers down the road, you only have to point your Extender to the new Engines. Your code doesn't change.
Our large collection of Code Samples will help you get started
on using the Extender's API interface.
