Device access via operating tools
7.5.1
Analysis software (SQL database support)
The analysis software offers centralized data administration with visualization for
recorded data. The analysis software enables the complete archiving of all measuring point
data e.g. measured values, diagnostic events and protocols. The analysis software stores
data in a SQL database. The database can be operated locally or in a network (client /
server). Access is via RS232/RS485, USB or Ethernet interface (network).
An "Essential" version of the analysis software are included with the device.
• Export of saved data (measured values, analyses, event log)
• Visualization and processing of saved data (measured values, analyses, event log)
• Safe archiving of exported data in a SQL database
For details, see the Operating Instructions on the analysis software CD-ROM provided
7.5.2
Web server
A web server is integrated into the device. This makes the current measured values of the
device available in real time. Access is via an Ethernet interface from a PC in the network
via the standard browser. The installation of additional software is not required.
The web server offers the following range of functions:
• Display of current and historical data and measured value curves via the web browser
• Easy configuration without additional installed software
• Remote access to device and diagnostic information
7.5.3
OPC server (optional)
The OPC server makes it possible to access data on the device. These data are made
available to OPC clients in real time. The OPC server meets the requirements of the OPC
specifications regarding the supply of data to an OPC client. Access is via RS232/RS485,
USB or Ethernet interface (network). Communication takes place using automatic device
detection; the operator does not need to make any additional settings. The OPC server
enables the flexible and powerful exchange of data and is easy and convenient to use.
The following momentary values can be provided:
• Analog channels
• Digital channels
• Mathematics
• Totalizer
7.5.4
Configuration software (included in scope of supply)
Functional range
The configuration software is an FDT/DTM-based system asset management tool. It can
configure all smart field devices in a system and helps with their administration. By using
the status information, it is also a simple but effective way of checking their status and
condition. Access is via USB or Ethernet interface (network).
