Device Connectivity, Integration and Data Acquisition
Device connectivity options for RTAP are unrivalled. There are virtually no limitations with respect to the types of devices and I/O you can connect with. There is also a broad range of communication options that are available to use with any given device. The RTAP scan system links the database to data monitoring and control equipment via Ethernet or RS-232 channels (including radio channels). Three methods of data collection are available: polled, polled report by exception, and spontaneous report by exception. RTAP easily handles multi-dropped end devices on multiple communication ports. Communication parameters (poll periods, baud rate, I/O mapping, and so on) are specified in the database and configuration is flexible enough to support half-duplex radio channels. Communication statistics are gathered automatically and made available in the database.
RTAP connects with a growing list of devices such as PLC's and RTU's from major vendors, either directly or through an OPC server. Many device drivers for other equipment are available from Industrial Defender's partners. Industrial Defender provides drivers to all mainstream vendors and devices, some of which include:
- DNP
- ModBus
- OPC
- Oracle
- Rockwell
- Siemens
In the event a driver for a certain device is not available, a powerful development toolkit is included with RTAP for partners and customers who wish to develop their own device driver. We can also offer our services team for custom driver development. With this device driver service you will be assured top quality development and Industrial Defender's leading support behind your custom drivers.
