FastDDE/SuiteLink
FastDDE / SuiteLink
Overview
FastDDE is a DDE format defined by Wonderware Corporation. It allows larger amounts of data to transfer between applications at higher speed (and with better error handling) than generic DDE. SuiteLink is a client-server communication method that has succeeded FastDDE. It is TCP/IP based and has improved bandwidth and speed. Both FastDDE and SuiteLink are supported by all Wonderware client applications.
Note: The Wonderware connectivity toolkit is used to simultaneously provide OPC and FastDDE / SuiteLink connectivity, allowing quick access to device data without the use of intermediary bridging software.
For security reasons, it is recommended that users utilize the most recent Wonderware DAServer Runtime Components. For more information and available downloads, refer to the Invensys Global Technical Support WDN website.Requirements
For the FastDDE interface to connect with the server, the Runtime must be allowed to interact with the desktop.
