Software Development Kit for Application Developers
API for connectivity to Allen-Bradley networks and devices.
The DHX SDK provides connectivity to DH, DH+, DH-485, ControlNet, A-B Ethernet, ControlLogix Gateway and DF1 networks and devices from 32-bit C and C++ applications.
The software provides access to Cyberlogic's high-performance DHXAPI interface for rapid development of applications targeted for all 32-bit Windows operating systems. The SDK includes interface libraries, sample source code, full documentation and all drivers to test applications.
All software applications developed with the DHX SDK are
compatible with all DHX products.
DHX Driver (for all Allen-Bradley and SST DH, DH+, DH-485 and ControlNet network adapters), the
DHX Gateway (for remote access to all Allen-Bradley networks), the
ControlLogix Gateway (for remote access to Allen-Bradley DH+ through DHRIO), the
Ethernet DHX Driver (for Allen-Bradley Ethernet communications), the
Serial DHX Driver (for DF-1 communications), the
Virtual
DHX Driver (for enabling 16-bit legacy applications in 32-bit Windows), the
DHX OPC Server and the
OPC Crosslink.
