Drivers are programs that interface between a source of data and the edinn system. Current drivers are:

  • edinnBOX_1: specifically designed to work with edinn monitoring BOXes (known as eBOXes).
  • edinnHIP: suitable to receive and send data through the edinn Hardware Integration Protocol (HIP).
  • edinnSIM_1: suitable to receive and send data from and to simulations (FlexSim and others).
  • Manual: gathers data from the work of the user with the edinn® M2 Terminal. Does not require any additional hardware.
  • OPCDA: reads or writes data from and to an OPC DA Server. Requires an OPC Server compatible with additional hardware.
  • OPCUA: reads or writes data from and to an OPC UA (Universal Architecture) Server. Requires an OPC Server compatible with additional hardware.
  • Vision: reads data from a camera installed on a local (to the computer that executes the Monitor Service) USB port.
  • Vision IP: reads data from a TCP/IP compatible camera.

Up to this point, the drivers above have been confirmed to be enough for the majority of the projects. For more information, please read here.

NOTE: If you need a specific driver for your application please refer to the technical support team.The other drivers are left for compatibility purposes but should not be used as they are deprecated.
