Toolkits
Our Toolkit APIs are offered to give users even more customization options for InduSoft Web Studio. These APIs allow you to access the proprietary InduSoft database, or develop drivers for your own hardware.
- Database Toolkit API – The Database Toolkit API allows you to access the InduSoft Web Studio proprietary database in order to access InduSoft data from a third party program that isn’t already compatible.
- Driver Toolkit API – The Driver Toolkit API allows users to create their own drivers to communicate with InduSoft Web Studio. If you’ve built your own device with a proprietary protocol, our driver toolkit will allow you to create the driver you need to communicate directly with the InduSoft Web Studio SCADA/HMI software.
Gateways
The InduSoft Gateways allow bidirectional communication to Wonderware’s InTouch, or iFix. This communication gateway allows users to access data from the control room without changing the original application. All communication calls happen within InduSoft Web Studio, allowing you to share information freely between the two applications without altering the system you already have in place. Available Gateways include:
-
InduSoft Gateway for Wonderware InTouch
- Supported Version: up to InTouch 2012
-
InduSoft Gateway for FixDMACs or iFIX
- Supported version: Fix DMACs or iFix v4.0: Fix DMACs v6.15
Import Wizards for PanelMate and PanelView
InduSoft Web Studio import wizards allow you to convert whole applications from PanelMate™ from Eaton, or PanelBuilder™ from Rockwell automation. It’s possible to save considerable time in conversion from a previously designed application to an InduSoft Web Studio application.
*The only settings that do not convert during this process are the security settings, as working with an open architecture development platform like InduSoft Web Studio may require users to optimize security settings for their application.

Electrical Industry Drivers
InduSoft has two add-on drivers that are available as optional products, in addition to the 240+ drivers available on our
latest drivers page. Please feel free to contact Indusoft for questions about these drivers, or for pricing information.
InduSoft DNP3 and IEC Driver Information
These two drivers are offered as additional drivers for purchase to those who use devices that communicate using the DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol Version 3) or IEC (IEC 60870-5-104) protocols often used in electric power systems. The DNP3 driver connects using serial and IP connections, while the IEC driver connect over Ethernet only. These drivers were created in order to provide a reduction in communication channel bandwidth use, communication that is reliable and resistant to electric interference.
Other features of these protocols include:
- Time stamping: know exactly when an event occurred (not when the SCADA system noticed it) to maintain traceability within the process
- Poll for changes: read only the changes in new data, without having to read all information each time.
- Unsolicited reporting: data that changes during the process is automatically reported to the SCADA with a timestamp
- Classes of data: prioritized data may be read more often
- Reliability: ensures that the local machine received and understood the data sent to it, even on serial connections.
- Interoperability: DNP3 and IEC are standard protocols, which allows users to mix equipment from different manufacturers and easily integrate them, using IWS as a gateway to share that data with PLCS, and other types of controllers not normally associated with these protocols.
OPC XML
The OPC XML add-on allows users to communicate with devices using a standard XML format. OPC XML works on a server/client architecture, and allows seamless communication between devices that use this protocol.
Additional Thin Clients
InduSoft provides one web session, one Secure Viewer, and one SMA client with each license. If additional concurrent thin clients are required, you may purchase them in pairs from InduSoft. Please
contact us for pricing or more information.
