Aveva Plant SCADA integration with Nais FP2 PLC

Note that Plant SCADA comes with less drivers, but the drivers from previous releases are still available as individual downloads from the website. That's so they can track which ones are used by more customers. See this note from the Plant SCADA 2023 Readme:

5.3. Driver Classifications

As part of an ongoing effort to set clear expectations and provide better support to our customers, we have introduced a classification system for our driver portfolio to communicate the level of ongoing maintenance and version updates that customers can reasonably expect. These classifications and status of each driver can be found online at https://gcsresource.aveva.com/PlantSCADA/Drivers/.

In line with these classifications, we have limited the number of drivers included by default on the Plant SCADA installation media to a reduced set of ‘core’ drivers that have undergone recent updates, however all other drivers continue to be available for download from the AVEVA Knowledge & Support Center at https://softwaresupport.aveva.com/. It is recommended that you visit on a regular basis and subscribe to the forum so that you are alerted to any updates that occur.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the information. This list look much comprehensive. Well, at least we have a site to refer all the driver that's available for Plant SCADA. 

However, I do like to suggest that if the list would to include a column to link to the driver documentation would be more effective. Cause I still need to go to Aveva support center to search for the communication driver information to find out whether the driver support current hardware. That's kind of tricky. 

Hopefully Aveva can consider this suggestion and improve the website. 

Thanks and regards.

Yes, it would be helpful if you could access the driver documentation directly from the website before downloading and installing the driver. You can at least filter for manufacturer to find drivers most likely to work.

Also, if you click on the Documents tab, there are supplementary files available for some drivers. That may provide everything that's in the help and more.

Nice comment! In a long shot I guess we will have it easy to access.. :-)
