Use Communication Drivers SDK

You can create a new solution in Visual Studio and compile a working (but empty) Communication Driver by following these steps. Once the solution is created, you can implement your own protocol as per your Communication Driver requirements.

The following are the high level steps to create a Communication Driver:

1. Set up the Communication Drivers SDK

2. Develop a Communication Driver

3. Add a new configuration parameter

Licensing

A single instance of the Communication Driver developed using the SDK can be activated and configured in the OCMC without an AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack license. If you want to implement your own licensing scheme, refer to Add custom license support.

Note: Configuring and activating multiple instances of the Communication Driver requires an AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack Professional License.
