explanation |
A virtual device is a device that uses the memory address space on FA-Server and is a unit that simulates the address map (M, D, etc.) of PLC. It can be treated the same as a standard PLC device, except that it does not communicate with a specific PLC. It can also be used as a shared area when you want to share data between multiple clients. Data on virtual devices is not retained. Therefore, when you restart the Server application, the data will return to its initial value.
|
||
Memory devices are devices that use the memory address space on FA-Server. They come with a variety of convenient features, including the ability to store written values on the hard disk, time bit tags (setting the current time as the tag value), pulse bit tags (tag settings that automatically OFF a certain amount of time after turning ON), and survival tags (settings that detect an abnormality if no writing is done for a certain amount of time).

Connection method etc. |
explanation |
This is a unit for connecting to the OPC server.
|
||
This is a unit for connecting to a DDE server.
|
||
This is a unit for connecting to a IPLink server.
|
||
This unit periodically sends a ping to a specified IP address and checks whether the address is alive or not based on whether or not it responds.
|
||
You can connect to the database via the ODBC driver and retrieve data stored in the table via tags.
|
||
You can connect to a Microsoft Excel cell and get the data on the cell via a tag.
