Using the Driver Reference Help

Each driver, whether it is installed with CitectSCADA or as part of a driver pack, is supported by the Driver Reference Help.

This where you will find the specific reference information related to each driver. This information includes:

• the device(s) each driver supports
• the address used to identify and locate a device
• any necessary device setup information
• the information necessary to configure a device in your CitectSCADA project
• the data types each driver supports
• parameters you can use to customize a driver
• driver-specific errors

Much of this information you will need to establish communication with a device; some of it is more suited to advanced engineering tasks and troubleshooting.

To access the Driver Reference Help, select Driver Help from the Help menu in Citect Explorer and Project Editor.

If you familiarize yourself with the processes explained in Setting Up Communications, you will be instructed on how to use this information to configure devices within a CitectSCADA project.
