How can I make it compatible to certain protocol if it doesn’t exist in base package?
Just inform us, and feed us as many information as you can about the required protocol and our team is ready to integrate any subsystem into your package. It is our interest too.
Which is the preferred database system?
MySQL is the default (integrated) database. MariaDB is an alternative.
How large systems can be integrated?
Using simulated and on-site (field) tests we haven’t found any limitation in size until now. Without any doubt the hardware and network background are important components when you plan a project. You can highly increase the power of the application if you use large amount of RAM (8 – 16GB), because we use an enhanced caching technology that requires solid RAM background.
Is it possible to use the training (datapoint simulation) features when the communication to the subsystems is online?
Yes, it’s possible. When you simulate a certain status of a datapoint then you simply stimulate the object representation of a datapoint. This is also what the communication protocol do. The simulation and the communication protocol can reach datapoint objects simultaneously without any restriction.
Is there any difference beetween installation under Linux or Windows?
Siwenoid is a Java development. Now we use OpenJDK. Java almost hides every differences between operating systems. Only minor (OS specific) differences can occur that the installer should take care of. For example returning from screensaver in case of an event is implemented differently in Linux and Windows. Or the tray icon representation of server instance is also different. But if you use our installer wizard, then it takes care of everything. Manual installation requires a little bit more skills.
Is it possible to mix operating systems in one system?
Yes, naturally. Siwenoid is 100% a client-server and networked architecture. After installation the client and server are communicating on standard TCP/IP sockets. And it totally hides the differences beetwen operating systems.
What is the minimum required TCP/IP network bandwidth?
Recommended minimum net bandwidth is 10Mbit/s. Bigger installations need higher bandwidth to eliminate timeouts in communication.
