The Driver Reference Help

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

To open the Driver Reference Help:

1. In the Topology activity, select I/O Devices.
2. On the Command Bar, click 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 Citect SCADA project
• the data types each driver supports
• parameters you can use to customize a driver
• driver-specific error messages.

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

If you familiarize yourself with the processes explained in Configure I/O Device Communications, you will be instructed on how to use this information to configure devices within a Citect SCADA project.
