Built-In Industry Drivers
One of the advantages of our free programming software, EBPro, is its extensive library of built-in drivers, including support for popular industry PLCs and RTU controllers like:
- Modbus: It is commonly used to connect a plant’s supervisory computer with remote terminal units (RTUs) in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
- DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol 3): Power utilities frequently use DNP3 to manage substations and gather data for load management and event logging. Its features, such as secure authentication and time-stamped event reporting, make it ideal for ensuring reliability and security in the power grid
Our extensive HMI software driver experience proved especially valuable for a large utility company in British Columbia, Canada, working on a Emerson FB3000 PLC application. We worked with directly Emerson, the end customer, and our engineering team to develop the DNP3 driver to meet current industry standards.
Power utilities frequently use DNP3 to manage substations and gather data for load management and event logging. Its features, such as secure authentication and time-stamped event reporting, make it ideal for ensuring reliability and security in the power grid.
This is just one example of how our built-in driver support and customer-focused workflow simplify deployment and reduce downtime in the field.
