Hardware Independent SCADA provides maximum flexibility when choosing monitoring & control devices. VTScada supports most industry standard and even many proprietary I/O protocols. We can even create new drivers to meet your needs.
This spares you the expense of replacing existing PLCs, RTUs and pump controllers when the time comes to replace your HMI or SCADA central. Going forward, you are free to purchase hardware brands that best meet your needs and budget.
Direct drivers = less problems = lower integration costs
Other HMI/SCADA products require OPC and DDE drivers from 3rd party suppliers. VTScada supports OPC and DDE. However, using direct device drivers eliminates this configuration time as well as an added point of failure.
Database Drivers
VTScada includes utilities and drivers that allow you to transfer historical data between VTScada and other software applications. Industry standard database drivers provide the means for 3rd-party applications to make direct data requests into VTScada historical databases. This is especially valuable when using statistical data analysis packages or 3rd party reporting packages.
