Key changes:
Contents
Nomenclature
- Introduced a "product family" concept. The product family is "OPC Studio". The OPC client toolkit product now belongs to this family, and it remains called "QuickOPC" (or "OPC Data Client", as branded by Software Toolbox).
- A new product in the "OPC Studio" family is "Excel Connector". This is now a separate product, providing essentially what what was before available through the "Excel Option" to the QuickOPC product.
Targeting
- .NET runtimes: Added support for .NET 8.
Licensing
- Excel Connector becomes a separate licensing component (earlier, Excel Option was an "add-on" license under QuickOPC licensing component).
- The trial license for Excel connector allows for up to 15 points to servers other than our own demo servers.
Installation and Uninstallation
- The installer is common for the whole OPC Studio product family. At the beginning of the installation the user is given a choice from the predefined products (QuickOPC, Excel Connector), or a custom selection of components.
Component Refactorings
OPC UA Administration and PKI
- The automatically determined OPC UA application URI now uses only the major version part of the application version information, instead of the full version string. This means that all builds of the application with the same major version number are now (by default) considered to be the same OPC UA application. This results in reduced number of situations in which the OPC UA application certificate has to be re-generated. More information: OPC UA Application URI Derivation.
Excel Connector
Tools and Online Services
Demo Servers and Publishers
- The OPC UA Demo Publisher is now available under .NET 8.0.
OpcCmd Utility
- The OpcCmd utility is now available under .NET 8.0.
Documentation and Help
- The User's Guide is common for the whole OPC Studio product family. It contains parts common to all products in the family, and parts that are specified to the individual products (QuickOPC, Excel Connector).
