The SaiaDataMode driver has been developed to communicate with Saia-Burgess PCD series PLCs. It is a direct driver, not based on Saia libraries, making it possible to communicate in different ways:
Movicon 11 – Rel. 11.4.1.6 DBL274
Movicon 11 CE – Rel. 11.4.1.6 DBL274
The Omron Host Link Driver was designed for use with Omron PLCs. The protocol Host Link is a serial multi-point protocol of type Master/Slave. The driver plays the role of master.

The Hitachi Ethernet H-protocol driver supports the communication with PLCs Hitachi of EH and EHV series, equipped with a built-in Ethernet port or an Ethernet communication module.
This driver implements the task codes A0h, Read I/O (continuous address), and A2h, Write I/O (continuous address), of the Ethernet H-protocol.

The Hilscher NetLink driver provides Simatic MPI communication to Siemens devices via the Hilscher ‘NetLink’ Ethernet interface. This driver was designed specifically for the use with Siemens S7 300 and 400 and VIPA System 200V, 300V, 300S and 500S series.
Before the Netlink device can be used, an appropriate system configuration must be set. In particular you have to specify a valid IP address for the Netlink device. For further details please refer to “Netlink configuration” .
A single Hilscher NetLink driver can manage communication with a single Netlink device. This does not prevent from communicating with more PLCs at a time.
As an example, you can connect 3 PLCs with different MPI IDs through a standard Profibus cable, then connect the Netlink device to the MPI port of one of the PLCs and you will access all the 3 PLCs data areas.
The driver should be configured with 3 stations, each one with the specific MPI station ID of the related PLC, but all the stations must have the same IP address (server address), that is the IP address of the Netlink device as specified in “Netlink configuration” .
The use of more Netlink devices at a time is possible by duplicating the driver, that is creating a copy on the driver for each Netlink device in use. For further details see “Driver duplication” in the Supervisor manual.
