If a solution is not supported by HQ and RCs need a specific solution, HQ offers
Software Development Kits (SDKs) for experts. The regional companies can
develop their own solutions using Software Development Kits (SDKs).
The following SDKs are available:
● PX Open platform SDK
● TX Open platform SDK
21.1 Integration on management level
The integration of third-party devices and systems on the management level is
appropriate:
● For monitoring and operating plants that are not time-critical
● When process communication with other automation stations is not needed
Desigo CC
BACnet is a widely used communication protocol for building automation and
control networks. It defines a number of objects, services and data link layers. It
is an essential part of Desigo CC's openness for integrating any third-party
devices, using the BACnet/IP protocol. An online auto-discovery and
alternatively an offline EDE import are available for integrating third-party
devices.
See
BACnet 3rd party Integration Guide (A6V10446271).
For more information about compliance and interoperability of Desigo products,
go to http://www.bacnetinternational.net/btl and search for Desigo.
A native Modbus-TCP driver lets you integrate a Modbus TCP server and
subsequent Modbus RTU devices via a protocol converter. An offline importer
supports the engineering workflow for integrating Modbus data points.
See
Modbus Integration Guide (A6V10438039).
OLE for Process Control (OPC) is a communication standard for exchanging
data between windows based software applications and process control
hardware without any proprietary restrictions. It is a client/server technology,
where one application acts as the server providing data, and another acts as a
client using data. The most common specification
Data Access (DA) defines a
set of objects, interfaces and method to facilitate the interoperability. OPC has
been extended to become a cross-platform communication standard, named
OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
For more information about OPC, see the documentation by the OPC
Foundation (www.opcfoundation.org) and the OPC Training Institute
(www.opcti.com).
