CitectSCADA Driver Development
The CitectSCADA Driver Development Kit (DDK) provides all the information you will need to write a device driver for a communication protocol. It provides a common base of code that is used by all CitectSCADA drivers, and also includes examples of working drivers. To build a driver you will also need a suitable C++ compiler and linker.
Device drivers are used so that a single generic version of CitectSCADA can use any type of communication protocol. Because device drivers communicate with the physical device, they provide CitectSCADA with the flexibility of communicating with any type of I/O Device.
This DDK is aimed at developers developing drivers for CitectSCADA, Citect Pty Ltd also recommend that you develop drivers on the latest released CitectSCADA version. By definition, CitectSCADA drivers are 32-bit drivers.
Once you have written a CitectSCADA driver, you can add it to the CitectSCADA system and it will then be used in the same way as the drivers supplied with CitectSCADA. Drivers are implemented as Windows DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries).

Register your Driver Development Kit - and have your drivers listed on the Citect DriverWeb
To be able to provide high quality support we would like to know a bit more about how you have used the DDK and if you are planning on doing some further driver development. When you have registered your DDK and listed your developed driver/s, we will contact you for further details and then list them as third party drivers on the Citect DriverWeb. Being a registered driver developer also means that when we have customers needing assistance in developing drivers in your area we can provide the customer with your contact details if you agree to this.
