Overview

Helvar interface is able to connect to one or more HDL Buspro interfaces. For each interface, channels can be defined that are represented as Server Items.

The interface is available for free. Each data point created by the interface is decreasing the available license data points by one.
For more information about the number of data points needed for each device see HDL channel definitions.
