2-4 Selecting Operator Interface
To complete your data acquisition and control system,
selecting the operator interface is necessary. Adopting by
Modbus/TCP Protocol, ADAM-5000/TCP Series exhibits high ability
in system integration for various applications.
If you want to configure your ADAM-5000/TCP Series system, or
monitor cur- rent status, Advantech offers free charge software:
þ ADAM-5000/TCP Series Windows Utility
If you want to integrate ADAM-5000/TCP Series with HMI (Human
Machine Interface) software in a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisi- tion) system. There are a lot of HMI software packages, which
support Modbus/TCP driver.
þ Advantech Studio
þ Wonderware InTouch
þ Intellution Fix of i-Fix
þ Any other software support Modbus/TCP protocol Moreover,
Advantech also provides OPC Server, the most easy-to-use data
exchange tool in worldwide. Any HMI software designed with OPC
Client would be able to access ADAM-5000/TCP Series system.
þ Modbus/TCP OPC Server If you want to develop your own
application, the DLL driver and OCX component will be the best tools
to build up user’s operator interface.
þ ADAM-5000/TCP Series DLL driver
þ ADAM-5000/TCP Series OCX component
With these ready-to-go application software packages, tasks
such as remote data acquisition, process control, historical
trending and data analysis require only a few keystrokes.
