The industry standards supported by iFIX include ODBC and OPC. EDA enables Dream Report to have access to current iFIX Tag information for real-time dashboards, instantaneous reporting, Data Logging with the Dream Report logger function, and write-backs for recipe loading or parameter changes. Note that Dream Report, using the Remote Driver, can run as a Service or as an Application, regardless of the status of the remote computer. For EDA (on node) connectivity, both iFIX and Dream Report need to run in Application (not Service) mode. That service is used by Dream Report as a bridge to its remote drivers. The Remote Driver enables Dream Report to be installed on a remote computer and that computer will support a web service communications interface with user configured ports and authentication. In applications that require remote connectivity to an iFIX node, Dream Report offers a special Remote Driver that will handle high performance (compression enabled) and secure connectivity. EDA is a simple local (on node) way to interface Dream Report to real-time data and real-time alarms and does not need Dream Report configuration. The proprietary interface to iFIX is a technology called EDA (Easy Database Access). Dream Report can be used with all of them. This HMI/SCADA solution offers several forms of connectivity ranging from proprietary interfaces to industrial standards. GE Digital Products that will be discussed:

This technical note will explain the various products and their connectivity with Dream Report. Connectivity falls into several categories, real-time data connectivity, real-time alarm connectivity, data history connectivity and alarm history connectivity.

With over 70 drivers, Dream Report offers a way to connect to virtually any industrial and business data source.Īs is typical with most connectivity, there are a variety of ways that Dream Report can communicate with specific GE Digital products. Dream Report is the leading ‘Industrial” solution for compliance and performance, reports and dashboards.
