Work with the Gateway Communication Driver

Gateway Communication Driver is an application that acts as a portal and protocol converter to allow two computer systems or programs to communicate with one another. You can use OI Gateway to link clients and data sources that communicate using different protocols, such as OPC and OPC UA. You can access Gateway Communication Driver from InTouch to connect to field devices.

InTouch leverages Gateway Communication Driver to use OPC, OPC UA, and other protocols to communicate between automation and control applications, field systems and devices, and business and office applications.

Gateway Communication Driver is bundled with WindowViewer and is automatically installed when you install InTouch. It can also be installed as a standalone application.
