Industrial PC as gateway
If it is required to separate control and visualisation, e.g. for performance reasons or due to
different operating systems, the control IPC can be used as gateway. The visualisation IPC
does not require any special fieldbus connection, only the Ethernet interface available as
standard is required. The implementation from Ethernet to the fieldbus is executed by the
Industrial PC.
Properties:
– Visualisation has access to variables of the control and parameters of the field de-
vices
– No impact on the real-time capability of the bus by the visualisation
– Several visualisations can access the same control
– Optimal for graphically complex visualisations
– Not available for HMI series EL100
