NETWORKING STATIONS TO A DATABANK SERVER
The FB3000 LabelBank/DataBank System has a database designation as either:
• Client – Used for standard weighment functions with only one interface unit.
• Server – Used in applications with more than one interface unit. Normally used
to store and process data, and also as a weighment terminal.
NOTE : For multiple terminal installations, a redundant storage model is used.
Each terminal has a complete copy of the data.
In a networked environment, the DataBank Program is located on an independent
PC/server typically away from the hostile environment of the production floor.
• This additional, optional networking program is installed by a service technician.
• All product data, security, user information, and transaction information is stored
within the DataBank configured computer.
• Only information downloaded to scale stations can be accessed from LabelBank.
─ This keeps the information consistent, easy to maintain, and available when
stations are added.
─ It provides one location of product updating, saving time, and keeps
transaction information safe and secure.
