OI server

An OI server is a run-time platform used for hosting Communication Drivers in a deployed Galaxy. Communication Drivers function as interfaces between the PLCs in your control network and the System Platform supervisory network. The following are the core components of an OI Server:

• Bootstrap

• PCS Runtime

• System Monitor

In addition to the components listed above, the following AVEVA/System Platform components and applications are also installed:

• Historian Client

• Operations Control Management Console

• Operations Control Logger

• AVEVA Communications Drivers Pack

• AVEVA Application Manager

These are the same components as on an AOS node. The difference is that you do not deploy objects to an OI server.
