PAC8000 Workbench Getting Started Guide
25
During the installation of the PAC8000 Workbench, other components are installed.
These components include:
•
Universal IO Server Limited Edition
- In order to communicate with the
controller, the Workbench requires a Modbus TCP driver. The Universal IO
Server is installed for this purpose.
•
.NET Framework -
Some of the PAC8000 Workbench components are built
using .NET technology. In order to take advantage of these components, the
.NET Framework is required.
•
MSDE -
The Microsoft Desktop Engine allows the PAC8000 Workbench to
access MS-SQL type databases. If you already have a later version of MSDE or
another compatible MS-SQL database driver installed, this component will not be
installed.
•
Sequence of Events -
Sequence of Events (SOE) data gives an accurate time
for event occurrence, along with the event value and other useful information.
This data can then be used to help determine a specific order of occurrences or
"Sequence of Events." There are two different kinds of events that can be
recorded: data change events from SOE modules based on channel inputs or
data change events from analog or digital registers found in the controller. Data
change events can be recorded no faster than the cycle time of the controller
while SOE module events are recorded in accord with times in the module’s data
sheet (order of milliseconds).
