Plug-ins

 

Plug-ins are small self-contained applications that can be added to AVReporter through its core interface. The idea of Plug-ins was to facilitate the ongoing development and synergy of adding functionality to AVReporter. This could apply to the evolution of features in AVReporter or to meet any ongoing needs to link to other systems. AVReporter automatically recognizes new plug-ins through it’s plug and play technology, greatly simplifying ongoing support and engineering time.

 

Plug-ins can perform the following functions:

-Database Driver Plug-ins are used to build connections to other systems. For example, the AVR Connection Center Plug-in is used to build links to TAC, Vijeo Citect, iFIX, RSView, PowerScada, Powerlogic systems, EEM, Siemens Desigo Insight, etc.
-Specific Systems Plug-ins are used to build connections with ERP systems - SAP, Lotus Notes, National Bank service to obtain currency exchange rates, other WEB services, ActiveX Components, etc.
-Operating System Plug-ins are used to access services in other operation systems such as Linux, Unix, etc.
-Device Driver Plug-ins are used to build connections to field devices that store distributed data such as EGX300, or to communication devices such as a wireless controller.
-Task Plug-ins are used to build automated scheduled tasks (e.g. sending e-mails, invoice printing, etc.)

Modules

 

Modules are complex applications that connect to AVReporter to complement its core functionality. Under the AVReporter Modules menu, we can access any installed modules (e.g.: Basic Reporter Module, Business-Intelligence, etc.). As modules are added to AVReporter, this display will be updated to show the complete list installed.
