SOFTWARE
The SNAP-LCSX and LCSX-PLUS controllers are designed to work in combination with Opto 22’s FactoryFloor
®
software suite, which consists of four integrated components:
•
OptoControl
™
, a graphical, flowchart-based development environment for machine control and process
applications
•
OptoDisplay
™
, an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) and trending package
•
OptoServer
™
, a robust, OPC-compliant data server that connects the controller network with the PC
network
•
OptoConnect
™
, a bi-directional link between the SNAP controller database and Microsoft’s SQL Server
and Access databases.
The SNAP-LCSX and LCSX-PLUS controllers are programmed using OptoControl on a PC workstation.
OptoControl is easy to use and self-documenting. It uses a plain English command set and a long tagname
database shared by all FactoryFloor components.
These controllers also work with Opto 22’s 16-bit software: Cyrano
®
, Mistic
®
MMI, and Mistic Data Server (MDS).
