Welcome to the ClearSCADA Guide to Drivers. ClearSCADA is a feature-rich expandible SCADA system. It comprises ‘core’ software that provides the core server-client functionality and ‘driver’ software that enables ClearSCADA to interface with third-party hardware and software using a wide range of protocols.
For each device with which you want ClearSCADA to communicate using a specific protocol, you need to install the relevant driver. This section summarizes the Types of Driver that you can install on a ClearSCADA system and explains to which guides you should refer for information on those drivers.
