386/ATM Coprocessor User Manual
When a higher speed communication path is required, the 386ATM device
driver can be integrated with the application package. Some application
packages are configurable to allow the use of a device driver, while others
require changes to the application software by the software vendor. See
Figure 1-1. Since it operates over the parallel PLC bus, the 386ATM device
driver allows the maximum in versatility and speed between the PLC and
the 386/ATM. This eliminates the slow serial link which restricts PLC
access.
A wide variety of SIMATIC TI and third-party software packages is
available which will run on the 386/ATM. In fact, software product/vendor
selection is easy—if the software is IBM PC/AT-compatible, will operate
with MS-DOS 5.0 and is compatible with memory and speed characteristics,
it will run on the 386/ATM. Applications range from small to large.
Examples include the following.
•
Operator interface
•
TISOFT2
™
software
•
Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
•
Statistical Quality Control (SQC)
•
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
•
Batch/Recipe management
•
Report generation
•
Math processing and data manipulation
•
Production reporting and report generation
•
Foreign device interface (intelligent sensor, etc., with RS-232 interfaces)
•
Communication to third-party controllers
•
Loop tuning
As a policy, Siemens Industrial Automation, Inc. does not recommend nor
give testimonials for third-party products. However, if none of our software
products meets your needs, you can use a third-party software package.
IBM compatibility confirms that such software should run on the 386/ATM
Coprocessor.
