What is IPLink-Interface?
IPLink is a client/server type communication protocol developed by this package and is based on TCP/IP. IPLink-Interface is built into each of our package products as standard.
By using IPLink, you can easily link tags between our server applications. In addition, by using the IPLink client library, you can easily access tags in our server applications from applications such as VisualBasic. In addition, multiple clients can connect to the IPLink server at the same time.

Please be sure to check the restrictions on IPLink in "Communication Interface Version Restrictions". |
■Connection from applications such as VlsualBasic
The "IPLink Client Library" is provided as an interface for independently developed applications using VisualBasic.NET etc.
The IPLink client library is an Active-X library that componentizes the IPLink communication function. By incorporating this library into your own application, you can freely access the tags of our package products from your own application. In addition, multiple clients can simultaneously connect to the IPLink server from the IPLink client library.
For more information about the IPLink client library, please see "IPLink Client Library".
■ Cooperation between our server applications
Each of our package products is equipped with both IPLink server and IPLink client functionality, allowing mutual communication between the servers of our applications.
In the world of IPLink, the side connected by IPLink is called the "IPLink server" and the application that connects to the server is called the "IPLink client." The IPLink client can communicate with tags registered on the IPLink server side via the "IPLink server unit" and use them as if they were tags defined within its own application.
For details about the IPLink server, please refer to "Using it as a IPLink server".
For more information about the IPLink client, please refer to "Using as a IPLink client".
