Ethernet configuration
The communications interface between the controller HMI and PLC is based on Profinet® platform
(Industrial Ethernet). The controller is factory set to the following IP settings:
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
HMI
192.168.1.167
255.255.255.0
None
PLC
192.168.1.168
255.255.255.0
None
This factory default setting has the HMI and PLC on the same subnet allowing proper
communications to take place. If ‘####’ appears in input fields and the software version is not
displayed on the administration screen, the HMI and PLC may not be properly connected, and the
connection may need to be reset. See
for instructions on how to set IP Addresses and
connections.
XCell ATF® operations- Remote monitoring and data acquisition
The following diagram shows the network architecture for controlling XCell ATF® Technology from
an OPC Server and OPC Client Software over Profinet®:
The OPC Client Software is any OPC capable program that will connect through the OPC Server to
the XCell ATF® Device. The OPC Client Software will control the XCell ATF® Device remotely and/or
read the status of the XCell ATF® Device. Examples of OPC Client Software include Microsoft Excel,
WinCC HMI by Siemens, and FTView HMI by Rockwell Automation.
•
The acronym "OPC" comes from "OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for Process Control".
Since OLE is based on the Windows COM (Component Object Model) standard, under the
hood OPC is essentially COM. Over a network, OPC relies on DCOM (Distributed COM),
which was not designed for real-time industrial applications and is often set aside in favor of
OPC tunneling.
•
OPC is implemented in Server/Client pairs. The OPC Server is a software application that
bridges the communication of the PLC with the Windows environment and then with the
OPC Client Software application. Some common OPC Server program suppliers include Delta
Logic (OPC Server and Data Logger) and Siemens (WinCC Siemens).
•
OPC also comprises several standards including OPC Data Access (OPC DA) and other
standards for alarms and events, historical data, batch data and XML.
