• Control Server
The Control Server is started from the Manager software. Using a PC connected via
Ethernet (remote controller
**
), you can start a scan, start/stop recording, and start/stop
the event processor. For the operating procedure of the Control Server, see section
2.13.
* * Remote Controller
The DAQLOGGER client package is required for the remote controller. For an overview of
the package’s functions, see “DAQLOGGER Client Package” below.
Note the following when performing communications with a PC on which DAQ32Plus,
DAQEXPLORER, DAQLOGGER, or MXLOGGER is installed.
• Only Ethernet may be used for communications.
• When connecting to the DAQ32Plus, DAQEXPLORER, DAQLOGGER, or
MXLOGGER, the hardware configurator cannot be used to enter settings (see chapter
7).
• The data’s measurement time is determined by the PC controlled by the master
DAQLOGGER. This time may differ from any slave DAQ32Plus, DAQEXPLORER,
DAQLOGGER, or MXLOGGER that are connected.
• You must use the software configurator to change the port number or enter a system
number (DAQEXPLORER, MXLOGGER) for making a connection to a specific system
(see section 2.6).
DAQLOGGER Client Package
The DAQLOGGER Client Package is used to receive data from a PC (Monitor Server)
that is connected via the network and display the measured/computed data on the
monitor screen.
The main functions are as follows:
• Connects up to 16 Monitor Servers.
• Receives data consisting of up to 1600 tags from a single server at a minimum interval
of 1 s and updates the display (the interval may be longer depending on the number
of connected servers and the number of tags).
• Displays the data from the server on one of six types of monitors: trend, digital, meter,
alarm, color graph, and circular.
• Displays tags by dividing them into groups (up to 50 groups, up to 32 tags per group).
• Loads and displays the file containing data that have been recorded by the Logging
Software of DAQLOGGER and carries out various operations such as computation
over an area specified by the cursors, data conversion, display of file information, and
printing (same as Viewer of DAQLOGGER).
