Product Overview

The Yokogawa Darwin Ethernet driver works in conjunction with TOP Server® to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Yokogawa Darwin controllers using Ethernet TCP communications.

This driver supports the Ethernet Exclusive Port as well as the Ethernet Shared port for data access. The Ethernet Shared port allows up to four host systems to attach to a single Darwin device. Data acquisition is optimized based on upstream client demand while data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling.
