Communicating with the OIT System
The following sections point out the different ways to communicate with the OIT system. Of
note is the Easy Mode option, since this version requires the least prior knowledge.
TCP/IP communication:
With this option, communication between the OIT system and
a PLC is communicated and logged in detail. Individual actions must be initiated
separately see chapter 6.1.
TCP/IP communication with Easy Mode:
The simplest form of connection between a
PLC and the OIT system. The connection is made through a simplified set of commands .

TCP/IP Communication with VSX Protocol
A
.NET 2.0-based
software interface is provided for easy integration with PC software. This
software interface takes the form of DLLs and handles the communication with the sensor.
Integrate the DLLs into the programming environment and run the programming lines
indicated.
