    Comments
    AdvancedDDE and NetDDE Support The DDE functionality gives Infilink-HMI the ability to use any DDE server as a source of data for eLink. This feature allows Infilink-HMI to be used as a low cost HMI on any device which supplies a DDE server. Infilink-HMI's DDE support goes further with AdvancedDDE and NetDDE support. AdvancedDDE is a high speed version of DDE which allows Infilink-HMI to transfer thousands of tags per second. Infilink-HMI optimizes DDE communications further by scanning only tags currently in use.
    OPC Client OPC (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) is now the standard format for industrial communication drivers. We have added OPC Client functionality to eLink. Now you can use any of the OPC communication servers on the market with our product. We recommend using the KEPWare Extreme OPC servers, but you can use the OPC server product of your choice.
    Software Based Protection Infilink-HMI uses a software based keying system which works on any Windows operating system.
    Multi-Platform Operation Infilink-HMI runs with Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, Windows ME and Windows NT & Windows XP.
