Automation Protocol#

The automation protocol represents the technical communication interface specification, implemented by a communication driver package.

Because this object is versioned, each communication driver package version should have a corresponding automation protocol version.

Each Automation Protocol version can have extended data, which are specific sets of:

  • Automation Protocol Parameters- represent specific configurations or communication parameters
  • Automation Protocol DataType- represent specific data types only known by the protocol
  • Automation Protocol DriverSpecifications- specific attributes for Automation Event, Automation Property, Automation EventProperty, Automation Command, Automation CommandParameter.

All the extended data is imported directly from the communication driver package and cannot be overridden except for the Automation Protocol Parametersdefault values.
