Tool Downloads
From OPC Labs Knowledge Base
This page lists the free tools OPC Labs provide. As opposed to "free trials" of our commercial software, which are licensed for evaluation purposes only, you can use the tools listed here also in development and production.
Some of the tools are also distributed as part of other products (Connectivity Software - QuickOPC, Excel Connector, OPC Wizard, Rapid Toolkit for Sparkplug, etc.). All software is fully functional in terms of features enabled. Some (a minority) might be limited in terms of allowed uninterrupted runtime; in such case, the restriction is mentioned on the corresponding page.
The table below lists the various free tools available and their purpose. Click on the tool name to visit the tool download page.
