Supported Device Drivers
The
deviceWISE (dw) IoT Platform products support devices: sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), intelligent controllers and other intelligent devices in a device driver. A device driver is installed on an Asset Gateway or Enterprise Gateway, depending on your company's device, network, and business requirements. The device driver documentation is located in the Developer's Guide and Reference section, Device types. The information in this Device driver list section provides a quick overview of the device drivers and device models.
Release Status of Drivers
Drivers are categorized as Generally Available, Pilot Ready and Technology Preview. This status reflects the maturity and level of testing that has been completed on the driver. Below are definitions of the three categories:
| Generally Available |
To qualify as a Generally Available driver, the driver must be extensively tested and then continually tested throughout the product lifecycle. Testing includes multiple models, firmware levels, and interfaces where applicable. For product support, any problems found using one of the drivers listed as Generally Available are considered to be fully covered under the support program. |
| Pilot Ready |
Many drivers have been created on behalf of our customers, and those drivers can benefit you as well. For product support, drivers listed under Pilot Ready are not covered by the standard support agreement. Fixes or improvements to these drivers are available through an independent support agreement or based upon works-for-hire contracts. |
| Technology Preview |
This driver has been designed for specific use cases. While generally functional, it might lack certain features for broader purposes. Prior to implementation, we advise customers to thoroughly test the driver within their specific applications. Should adjustments be required, please reach out to your technical account manager for further support. |
