Automated Solutions ASComm.NET is a fully-managed .NET component that delivers communications connectivity between .NET applications and a broad range of industrial devices using industrial communications protocols.
All supported protocol drivers are implemented in the ASComm.NET component, providing a single, consistent API regardless of the underlying protocols or hardware devices. Development licenses for each driver can be licensed individually, so you only pay for the drivers that you are developing with.
Use Visual Basic, C#, C++, and ASP.NET to create HMI, SCADA, data logging, and IIoT applications targeting Win Forms, WPF, Web, console, service, and Linux.
Powerful pre-built example applications with VB and C# source code included in development package.
Runtime-free for qualified applications
100% managed code
x86, x64, and Any CPU compatible
NEW Includes Excel Add-in for simple, non-programmatic Excel spreadsheet data logging.
