Intelligent Data eXchange (IDX) is a single suite of middleware products,
which facilitates real-time data exchange. It bridges
the gap between monitoring and control systems (with near instantaneous
response typically used in the telecommunications and industrial
automation process control) with transactional business systems (varied
response times, generally slower based on database technology). It
provides facilities to enable data validation, data transformation, and
seamless integration of disparate systems.
How do we use iDX?
iDX is typically used as a hub providing information exchange between one
or more of the following:
 |
Process control system (DCS or PLC) such as
Siemens, Foxboro, Modicon
|
|
|
MMI or SCADA systems such as Wonderware
InTouch, Siemens WinCC, Intellution iFix, and Adroit
|
|
|
real-time Data Historian such as
OSIsoft
RtPM Platform (including PI),
AspenTech InfoPlus 21, and
Wonderware's
Industrial SQL Server (InSQL)
|
|
|
On-line Expert Systems such as
Gensym G2
and
Pavilion
|
|
|
Legacy and disparate
systems (e.g. Axeda @atGlance, ABB, Honeywell) |
|
|
Devices on common
protocols (OPC, MODBUS, TCP/IP, PROFIBUS, etc) |
|
|
IP enabled devices
(Power Meters, etc) |
|
|
IT Infrastructure
(Windows Servers & Applications [via Perfmon], Switches & Routers
[via SNMP], IP Devices [Ping & custom developed TCP/IP drivers], NT
Services, etc) |
|
|
Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP)
such as SAP R/3, Baan
|
|
|
Standard Database and Office Applications
using network, e-mail, and web technologies.
