SmartServer Programming Tools
SmartServer Programming Tools let you create apps and drivers for the SmartServer controller, which customize its operation for your specific needs. You can develop apps that expand the SmartServer's feature set — for energy optimization, data analysis, and room and lighting control, for example. Or, create modules that bridge to legacy systems using the RS-232 or RS-485 ports. You can write apps and drivers in C or C++, compile, and load them on your SmartServer, and you can create application licenses to protect your apps and drivers from unauthorized use.
- Includes a pre-configured Eclipse Development Kit that includes the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment, SmartServer app templates, a SmartServer library, a C/C++ programming tool, and CYGWIN environment
- Allows creating custom drivers to send data from RS-232 or RS-485 ports to a custom app or to any of the built-in apps such as the SmartServer’s Scheduler or Data Logger
- Includes a license generator for creating licenses that help protect your apps and drivers from piracy or unauthorized use
