Java IO Server

If your device is using a communication protocol different than the stardard protocols embedded in the Ewon gateway, you can implement this custom protocol using JAVA.

We provide a Java ToolKit for Ewon gateway for developers who want to create their own Ewon application in Java. This toolkit supports a series of APIs allowing, among other things, the modification of the Ewon configuration, read/write tags (PLC registers), file management, and what is interesting in this case – creation of your own IO server to communicate with your device.

Developing and implementing a third-party protocol in JAVA allows the close integration of your code within the Ewon firmware and, more precisely, to its tags (which handle the data sent by the external device). In other words, the Ewon firmware manages your JAVA IO server just as if it was a standard IO server.

It is almost transparent to the user who will on associate tags to the JAVA IO server just as he would for any other IO server.

A dedicated manual on how to develop your Java IO server is available in the JAVA Programming section.
