iDigi Dia software

The Digi ESP development environment includes iDigi Device Integration Application (iDigi Dia)

software. This software simplifies connecting devices (sensors, PLCs, etc.) to communication

gateways. It includes a comprehensive library of plug-ins that work out-of-the-box with common

device types and can be extended to include new devices. Its unique architecture allows the user to

add most devices in under a day. iDigi Dia is a tested architecture that provides the core functions

of remote device data acquisition, control, and presentation between devices and information

platforms. It collects data from any device that can communicate with a Digi gateway, and is

supported over any gateway physical interface. iDigi Dia presents this data to upstream

applications in fully customizable formats, significantly reducing a customer’s time to market.

Written in the Python

programming language for use on Digi devices, iDigi Dia can be executed

on a PC for prototyping purposes when a suitable Python interpreter is installed. iDigi Dia is

targeted for applications that need to gather samples of data from a set of devices, such as ZigBee

sensors, wired industrial equipment, GPS devices, etc. It is an integral component of the iDigi

platform, which customers can deploy with iDigi Dia software to build flexible, robust solutions

with unprecedented speed.

Programming calls through Server Command Interface (SCI) and Remote

Command Interface (RCI)

The iDigi Web Services Server Command Interface (SCI) and the Remote Command Interface

(RCI) can be used as an alternative means of getting settings and state data from the device.

See the SCI (Server Command Interface) chapter of the iDigi Web Services Programming

Guide and the Remote Command Interface (RCI) Specification.
