CALopc – OPC server
The CALopc server is a MODBUS RTU software product
designed for integration into OPC client/server
applications such as SCADA.
CALopc includes pre-configured templates for all CAL
controllers, together with controller bitmaps and the
7-segment LED true type font.
Using this OPC server allows ‘tags’ to be added to all
controller functions and built into the SCADA
application enabling the display and changing of any
parameters in a custom configured application for
complete process monitoring and control.

CALpoll – tools for custom software
engineers
CALpoll is a free of charge software product
available from www.cal-controls.com It includes an
example program and source code in Visual C++.
It is ideal for use by software engineers who wish to
create custom applications that need to
communicate with CAL controllers via the MODBUS
RTU protocol.
The source code includes routines for
communicating via MODBUS saving the software
engineer significant development time. The example
program also doubles as an ideal diagnostic tool for
proving that the communications hardware is set up
correctly.
