SIMATIC WinAC ODK - SIMATIC WinAC provides, as a standard feature, a series of open interfaces to integrate real-time process data with other software applications. However, these interfaces (such as ActiveX or OPC) are, by nature, designed to provide user applications an asynchronous way to access this process data. Therefore these interfaces are better suited toward standard HMI software or user written Visual Basic front ends.  The key to further expanding the integration capabilities of WinAC Basis is the ability to integrate motion, vision and user defined C / C++ code synchronously with the logic control scan. SIMATIC WinAC ODK (Open Developer Kit) supports this for both WinAC RTX and WinAC Slot. With the WinAC ODK it's easy to enable user-developed extensions, special purpose libraries and add-ins for the WinAC family.
