IBA Driver
Information
The iba driver allows you to connect to iba HDServer systems to retrieve historical data.
We usually suggest using OPC-UA to connect to live data, as this provides the best performance while also having the smallest impact on your server.
Note: You will need to have a license with the GRPC option - this is required to allow ARDIs drivers to connect and retrieve data

Driver Settings
This driver has several options…
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Host | The IP address or name of the HDServer system |
| Port | The port that the HDServer is running on |
| Default Store | The data store to use by default |
| Certificate | A server security certificate for the IBA server |
| Public Key | A public client security key for this device |
| Private Key | A private client security key for this device |
Note that the last three items are optional and will be generated by your IBA system.
In tests, we've often found that the security certificates created the first time will often fail. If the driver fails to connect with a set of certificates, try re-generating new ones.
Point Settings
IBA points only have to parameters, one of which is optional.
| Option | Usage |
|---|---|
| Data Store | The name of the data store. If blank, the default will be assumed |
| Name | The name of the point in IBA |
Notes
IBA lacks the concept of an 'integer' type. ARDI attempts to resolve issues around this by interpolating and processing certain channels differently when you're using them in enumerations.
