Key Concepts and Terms

The Devices module facilitates seamless communication and data exchange with various field devices and industrial protocols, simplifying system architecture and enhancing connectivity. The configuration of the Devices module is performed in the following sections:

  • Protocols: list the various connectors available to the Device Module
  • Device Channel: Add a protocol to use by Device Module, definition configuration settings as needed. 
  • Device Node: a physical device, or external system, the Device Module will communicate using the Channel configuration for the protocol 
  • Device Point: individual items that are read from or written tp address in the Nodes, bound to a specific tag.
  • Device AccessType: to each Point, the AccessType define it that address is read only, write only, or read-write.:
