I am trying to get to the device settings for each device in my ignition server. For example I have a Micrologix device “device-A” and I want to access Microxlogixsettingsrecord in the internal db. Is it possible?

From a custom module? Sure.  
From some random scripting context? Generally speaking, no, and certainly not in any supported way.

I am sorry I didnt set the context.  
I am writing a custom module that will run in the gateway scope.

How can i do that ?

So, you’ll want to ensure that you have the Logix driver as a requirement for your module so that you’re loaded into the appropriate classloader. From the `GatewayContext` you get in your gateway hook’s `setup()` method, you can `getPersistenceInterface` to get the [`PersistenceInterface`](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition80/8.0.14/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/localdb/persistence/PersistenceInterface.html) - the entrypoint into our ORM. You’ll want to create a `new SQuery<MicroLogixDriverSettings>()`, and pass that to `PersistenceInterface.query()` - which will give you a list of all the MLX driver settings records in the internal DB. You can add restrictions to the SQuery to limit your results - such as `.eq(MicroLogixDriverSettings.Hostname, "1.1.1.1")`.

MicroLogix driver is part of the AB Driver module, not the Logix Driver module, which has only the v21+ driver in it.

None of these are really part of the SDK though and aren’t considered public API.

I’m assuming you mean adding a dependency something like:

```auto
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.inductiveautomation.drivers</groupId>
   <artifactId>driver-allen-bradley</artifactId>
   <version>5.0.16</version>
</dependency>

```

Are there settings/orm functionality for the other device types you support? E.g. bacnet, dnp3, modbus, omron, siemens?

Each module contains its own settings records - I don’t think there are any exceptions to that rule. So whatever driver _module_ contains the driver you want to view the records for, you will need that as a dependency of your module.
