25.1 Function
♦ The VIBROCONTROL 6000 Compact monitor is able to export, in digital
form, the continuously acquired measurement variable over a network.
For this purpose the Communications block has an OPC-interface (OPC
= OLE for process control) available, which can be integrated in a
TCP/IP Ethernet network.
♦ The VIBROCONTROL 6000 Compact monitor can communicate with
any PC in which the OPC DA-server – Type 7131 software has already
been installed and taken into operation.
The OPC DA-server – Type 7131 itself is an open interface which
makes the measured data and status information available to other
systems for archiving or visualization (e.g. to xms Process
Visualization).
Each OPC-Client that has been adapted to the OPC DA-server-Type
7131 can directly import digital measured data from the
VIBROCONTROL 6000 Compact monitor. Details about the preparation
and commissioning of an OPC-client can be taken from the handbook
for the OPC DA-server – Type 7131 software.
♦ The Communications block is used for configuration of the network
connection of the VIBROCONTROL 6000 Compact monitor . Only the
parameters for the transfer path and data format are set up here.
♦ The network connection is physically realized over an SCI-RS-232
converter and a commercially-available Gateway (e.g. Ethernet).
