HW4 Professional with OPC Server

Includes all features of HW4 Professional while also providing OPC tags that can be enabled for each individual device communicating with HW4. This allows exporting and integrating the HW4 data with practically any OPC client (requires configuration / programming of the OPC client by the user).

Offers the same functionality as HW4 Professional with OPC server. Additionally, the “HW4 e-compliance Package” is available. This extensive collection of documents (including template of qualification documents) is designed to support the “regulated user” by qualifying/validating HW4-based solutions. The most current validated release of HW4 is v 2.3.0.
