2.3 Selecting an Operator Interface
To complete your Data Acquisition and Control system, selecting the
operator interface is necessary. Adopting the Modbus/TCP Protocol,
ADAM-6000 I/O modules exhibit high ability in system integration for
various applications.
If you want to read the real-time status of ADAM-6000 modules through
the web page from anywhere without any engineering effort, there are
many Internet browser software:
• Internet Explorer, Netscape, and other browser with JAVA Machine
If you want to develop your own web pages in the ADAM-6000 modules,
the JAVA Script will be the quick and easy programming tool to design a
specific operator interface.
• J2EE Development Kit
If you want to integrate ADAM-6000 I/O 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.
• Advantech Studio
• Wonderware InTouch
• Intellution Fix of i-Fix
• 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-6000 I/O modules.
• Modbus/TCP OPC Server
If you want to develop your own applications, the ADAM.NET Class
Library will be the best tools to build up users operator interface.
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.
