SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE
OVERVIEW
This chapter provides information on using OptoControl, OptoDisplay, and OptoServer with the M4RTU/M4 I/O.
OptoControl is used to program and debug M4RTU/M4 I/O control strategies. OptoDisplay is used to create
M4RTU/M4 I/O process operator interfaces running on the PC. OptoServer allows the user to construct complex
client/server architectures running multiple OptoDisplay sessions, DDE-aware applications (such as Microsoft
Excel), or third-party software packages with OptoServer driver capability. The tight integration between
OptoControl, OptoDisplay, and OptoServer not only makes all three software packages easy to use, it also
prevents multiple database entry errors, allows tag name validation, and takes full advantage of the M4RTU/
M4 I/O’s hardware capabilities.
The sophisticated firmware of both the main and I/O processors of the M4RTU/M4 I/O, along with flash
technology, enables a user to update the M4RTU/M4 I/O remotely with a new set of operating systems for the
main and I/O processors. The firmware also supports the ability to store a user’s strategy permanently into
flash memory.
Note:
It is not the intent of this chapter to teach OptoControl programming and debugging, OptoDisplay
configuration and runtime operation, or overall OptoServer usage. Instead, this chapter presents
an overview of these topics, with enough details to get you started. For detailed information on these
subjects, refer to the appropriate Opto 22 user guides.
