Protocol Communication drivers
Connectivity is a key feature of our platform. The communication drivers are divided in 3 groups:
Standard Protocols: communication drivers installed by default with the product.
Supported Protocols: drivers not included in the installation but available upon request.
Premium Protocols: drivers included on the installation but require extension licensing.
New drivers are continuously being created in partnership with partner companies using our Communication Driver Toolkit.
Communication Driver Toolkit
Our team has extensive experience in communication driver creation. We have created more than two hundred interfaces over the past twenty years.
As a result of that accumulated experience, our platform has an open standard interface, the Driver Toolkit, to allow new protocols to be added in an easy and efficient way. The standard built-in infrastructure takes care of everything related to physically sending and receiving messages, access to real-time tags, address configuration as well as diagnostic and performance tools.
The Driver Toolkit is available to System Integration partners and licensed end users. Contact us if you need to create your own custom interfaces.
Premium Protocols
There are a few interfaces that are available, but they are not included in the product distribution because they have their own installation packages or they are sold as an optional extension. This includes the following protocols, in alphabetical order:
DNP 3.0 Protocol
IEC-61850 Master standard protocol
IEC-870-5-104 Master standard protocol
IEC-870-5-104 Server standard protocol
OSIsoft PI System and PI AF, using AFSDK connector
