2. Main Features
This product can be performed alarm output and contact operation using demand surveillance and
also save the data collected via CC-Link communications or MODBUS
®
from measuring
instruments and programmable logic controllers to this product.
The product is preinstalled with software needed to view the data saved. The data can be
downloaded via Ethernet to PCs connected to the Internet/Intranet. The statuses of demand
surveillance and the collected data can be viewed in graph or list format using a web browser on the
PC over the Intranet. Equipment efficiency can be checked in graph by collecting the loading time
and downtime of equipment and the numbers of processed products and non-defective products.
An alarm can be issued in given events, such as when the target demand, the upper/lower limit of
data collected, the specific consumption planned value, or the energy planned value is reached or
when a measuring point turns on or off. Abnormal states can be quickly detected by sounding
buzzers and turning on lamps.
With just a simple setup, the collected data can be sent to the devices in programmable logic
controllers, enabling easy coordination with the equipment control.
Installing a mail server (SMTP server) or file transfer server (FTP server) allows you to send email
notifications when the target demand is exceeded or an upper/lower limit alarm operates and to
save measured data in a CSV format by automatic transfer. With these features, whenever a trouble
occurs, you can handle it immediately.
Transfer of XML files with an air-conditioner controller allows automatic control of lighting and air
conditioning according to the demand level.
Installing a clock server (SNTP server) allows clock synchronization among the equipment that
supports SNTP server capabilities.
