IoT View

IoT View is a lightweight, platform-agnostic runtime for AVEVA Edge projects.

IoT View has a much simpler architecture than the full software, which means that it can run on a wide variety of devices and operating systems in the Internet of Things. It supports many commonly used project features, including the tags database, project screens and screen objects, scripting, alarms, trends, and communication drivers. It does not include all of the technologies and back-end tools that the full software provides, however, so there are some limitations on projects that run in IoT View. More features will be supported in future releases.

Users can log on to projects and view project screens through Mobile Access, and Mobile Access itself has been improved to be compatible with more web servers.

The procedure to install IoT View is simple, and it is similar to the procedure to install Embedded HMI for Windows Embedded. First, install and run a small Remote Agent program on the target device. Then, use the Remote Management tool (in the project development environment) to connect to the Remote Agent program. After that, IoT View will perform like any other runtime edition, which means that you can use the Remote Management tool to download and run projects.

At this time, IoT View has been validated to run on Debian-based distributions of Linux, such as Ubuntu and Raspbian. If you want to run IoT View on another device or operating system, contact your software distributor.
