SmartDriver:
SmartDriver enables you to create a customized interface to monitor and control 3rd party devices from EBO server.
The following block diagram shows a SmartDriver Interface and a SmartDriver Driver. The SmartDriver Interface (similar in concept to other protocol interfaces such as Modbus and BACnet) is part of EcoStruxure Building Operation software and enables you to create SmartDriver objects in the System Tree pane. The SmartDriver Driver is installed on the server drive and provides the network communications control. More information at Web Help SmartDriver Overview.
Licensing:
Currently, all SmartDrivers are created by the engineering group in the UK. All pricing, installation and licensing will be handled through that office. The ASCII driver does not require any licenses; it is a tool for users to create their own interfaces.
Smart Connector:
A development framework that simplifies and accelerates integrations with third-party systems or other data sources. It is an open, extensible and configurable application framework that allows developers to create innovative new capabilities, applications, and solutions which extend and enhance EcoStruxure Building solutions.
The Smart Connector itself runs outside the EBO server and consume or server data to EBO server vie the EcoStruxure web services "EWS".

Licensing:
For deployment: Order part number SXWSWSCDL100001, then download Runtime 2.4 (Commercial) from https://www.smartconnectorserver.com/Marketplace + The cost of Smart Connector itself as defined by the developer.
For Developers: Download Runtime 2.4 (Developer) free; This license allows Extension Developers the ability to install and use the Schneider Electric Smart Connector Runtime for up to 90 days on their development machine. If the license expires, you should download a new license.
Released for: Schneider Electric Egypt and North East Africa

What is general machine safety?
General machine safety refers to the practices and measures implemented to ensure the safe operation of machinery in various environments, particularly in industrial settings. It encompasses a range of machine safety measures aimed at preventing accidents and injuries related to machine use. The steps taken help create a safer workplace by minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries.
What are the key machine safety rules?
The most important machine safety rules one should follow include:
- Never remove or try to defeat machine safeguards – they are there for your protection.
- Don’t create new hazards, such as allowing objects to fall into the moving parts or by creating a new pinch point.
- Report problems with machine safeguards to your supervisor immediately.
- Never leave machines unattended with parts still moving.
- Know emergency procedures: Be familiar with emergency shutdown procedures and the location of emergency stops and exits.
- Do not bypass machine safety features: never disable or bypass safety devices or emergency stops. They are critical for your safety. Always follow the correct procedures for starting and stopping machines.
- Never attempt to operate machinery without proper training or authorization.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and helmets, as required for the specific machine and task..
- Never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the machine.
What are machine safety solutions?
Machine safety solutions are strategies and technologies designed to protect workers from machinery hazards. Key machine safety solutions include safety guards, which are barriers preventing access to dangerous parts; emergency stop buttons that are easily accessible to halt operation in emergencies; and light curtains, which are optical devices that stop machines when the light beam is interrupted. Safety interlocks ensure machines only operate under safe conditions, while Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures are essential for safely shutting down machines during maintenance. Above all, machine operation safety measures highlight the critical importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, for ensuring worker safety.
