Adapter Framework 1.8.1.62
Overview
AVEVA Adapter for DNP3 collects time-series data from DNP3 outstations that adhere to the DNP3 protocol. This data can be transferred to Open Message Format (OMF) endpoints in an AVEVA PI Server, CONNECT data services, or Edge Data Store (EDS). AVEVA Adapter for DNP3 includes a host of features that enable robust data collection.
This adapter collects health and diagnostic information, supports automatic buffering on-disk or in-memory, allows for polled and unsolicited data collection, offers the ability to discover available data items at the data source, and supports installation on various Windows and Linux-based operating systems.
Along with the downloadable version of the install kit and software packages, the AVEVA Adapter for DNP3 is available as an edge module, the containerized version of the adapter that can be deployed using Edge Management on CONNECT data services.
