eDrive  Allows Andover Systems to Interface
to Other Manufacturers Existing Systems.


eDrive  gives you the ability to bring in points from entire systems by other manufacturers.  Its the perfect way to consolidate those "non-Andover" portions of your facilities into a single system built around Cyberstation™ as the front end.  The result is a single, coordinated system that can easily grow as an up-to-date Andover system.

eDrive  is also a solution for older systems that have obsolete front end software, or no front end at all. Now you can install Cyberstation as a modern front end with all of its features for Alarms, Schedules, Graphics, etc. Its a great way to have the advantages of Continuum™ without the expense of replacing an entire legacy system.


   A Note About Interfacing to Systems ...

  Greater care and planning must be used when applying eDrive  to systems when compared to individual devices.

The system integrator must be familiar enough with the system to be interfaced in order to ensure its continued operation. Provisions must be made for maintaining existing programs, making backups, etc. The driver only moves point data to and from the system. It will not replace all functions of an existing front end workstation.
