Device Integration Application (DIA)
The Remote Manager Device Integration Application (DIA) is software that simplifies connecting
devices (for example, sensors or PLCs) to communication gateways. DIA includes a comprehensive
library of plug-ins that work out-of-the-box with common device types and you can extend it to include
new devices. Its unique architecture allows the user to add most devices in under a day.
The DIA architecture 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. 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, you can also execute DIA on a
computer for prototyping purposes when a suitable Python interpreter is installed.
DIA is targeted for applications that need to gather samples of data from a set of devices (for
example, ZigBee® sensors, wired industrial equipment, or GPS devices). It is an integral component of
the Remote Manager platform, which customers can deploy with DIA software to build flexible, robust
solutions with unprecedented speed.
Remote Manager and the device management service
Remote Manager allows for device management and access to device data within Remote Manager.
Designed as an on-demand solution, Remote Manager customers pay only for services consumed,
conserving capital and requiring no infrastructure. Remote Manager feature include:
Device connector software that simplifies remote device connectivity and integration.
