Overview

DASTEC has been involved in software development in the industrial field since the late 80's. We started out developing custom communication modules and drivers to facilitate getting production data in to and out of HMI and SCADA systems. This involvement gained us an in-depth knowledge of popular HMI/SCADA packages leading us into developing medium to large size SCADA systems.

We work with resellers and integrators to provide software development in two areas:

  • Development of standard, software products and
  • Custom solutions to fulfill specific customer requirements.

Communication API Development

DASTEC has been developing communication interfaces and drivers for HMI companies and equipment manufactures since 1988. With over twenty years of experience, your company can be assured of getting the highest quality communication API developed in a timely fashion by relying on DASTEC.

Whatever languages you or your customers will be using, DASTEC can develop an API that can integrate seamlessly into your projects. We have APIs on the market written as native DLLs for operating systems, as .NET assemblies that can be used on any .NET or .NET CF platform as well as libraries that can be used with various Linux operating systems.

Custom Application Development

DASTEC Corporation has years of experience in the development of communication tasks and drivers for interfacing SCADA packages with various hardware and software controllers. These communication tasks and drivers can be direct interface tasks developed using a particular SCADA package's device driver API or general interface using industrial standards methods such as ActiveX, DDE, OPC etc.

Interfaces allow access to controller data over serial links, open network links such as Ethernet, priority network links using vendor specific interface cards, etc.

OPC Development

DASTEC has been developing communication interfaces and drivers for HMI companies such as GE Fanuc and USDATA, and various equipment manufactures such as ABB, Eurothem Controls, Egan Davis-Standard, Giddings & Lewis, Industrial Indexing System and Shackleton System Drives since 1988. With over twenty years of experience, your company can be assured of getting the highest quality OPC server developed in a timely fashion by relying on DASTEC.

Software Experience

With experience in an impressive array of software technologies, DASTEC can assist your company in developing modules, turn key applications and/or systems in a language and on a platform you will be comfortable with.

Below is a list of our software expertise and services provided.  If you have any need for software engineering support, don't hesitate to call DASTEC.

SCADA / HMI / MMI Development

Got our start working with major developers of supervisor control amd machine monitoring software companies. Through those close partnerships our teams of developers have acquired unparalleled understandings of end user needs and MMI best practices. Many of our developers have a background in industrial control engineering working in the process and descrete manufacturing environments.

Device / Protocol Driver Experience

Our software developers have been involved with a huge breath of industrial hardware; developing communications protocol capabilities as well as utilizing the equipment in SCADA or custom applications.
