Graybox |
The OPC DA Automation specification was originally intended primarily to support developers using VB 6 (and earlier versions). With the rise of dynamic languages such as Python and Ruby, this specification is now seeing renewed significance. The DA Automation specification is normally implemented using a wrapper DLL that sits above conventional DA servers. Inexplicably, OPC Foundation's own wrapper DLL is not publicly available. Graybox provides this mature alternative, which is updated regularly. |
