Communication Drivers

AVEVA

Configure, connect, collect — integration and connectivity

Expanding connectivity and increasing data value have become vitally important as companies strive to leverage real benefits from the IoT/IIoT, big data and cloud technologies. Yet connecting and integrating disparate devices to Supervisory HMI/SCADA and Historian databases remains a challenge for many organizations, particularly in the manufacturing domain.

AVEVA Communication Drivers provide a single, hardware-independent connectivity tool set that helps you enforce standards, simplifies configuration, promotes consistency, and maximizes communication uptime.

Seamlessly connect and integrate

Enabling Connected Systems

Link virtually every plant information device and source, easily and cost-effectively, with open communication standards, hardware agnostic connectivity, and seamless configuration abilities.

Auto-Build Your Connectivity

Reduce PLC connectivity configuration efforts by almost 50 percent with the ability to automatically read and structure a PLC program based on current schema.

Free 32-tag Tiny Application Support

This enables you to integrate edge applications with 32 or fewer tags and to connect AVEVA Insight or System Platform without requiring an additional purchase.

Hardware and Vendor-Agnostic Connectivity

Built with an open plant philosophy, AVEVA Communication Drivers enable seamless configuration and integration. Connect using open communication connectivity protocols such as MQTT, OPC DA, and OPC UA.

Multi-Instance Support

Consolidate scattered architectures by running multiple, completely independent instances of the same driver in a single node.

Side-by-Side Upgrades

Run previous driver versions while adding a new driver version of the same driver protocol for growth without disruptions.
