Intro
Introduction
We call data sources those devices (e.g. sensors, PLCs) that make available to AL300 some variables whose values can be read by AL300. Some data sources also support writing values (e.g. setpoints, thresholds, commands).
AL300 supports two modes of configuration of the communication with these devices:
- generic driver: allows you to use a protocol freely, thus supporting any device from any manufacturer
- plug&play driver: allows you to acquire specific devices with minimal configuration. AL300 already knows their characteristics and the available variables
Generic drivers
The supported protocols are:
- Modbus RTU (on RS485)
- Modbus TCP
- S7 protocol (Siemens PLC)
- OPC UA
- LoRaWAN
- Ethernet IP (for Rockwell PLCs)
- Ethernet IP (generic)
- BACnet
Plug&play drivers
We add several devices every month and this list is always growing. Among the currently supported devices we have:
