●
Supports multi-vendor and multi-protocol operation:
Reduces costs for project planning, programming, commissioning and
maintenance by general use of Ethernet TCP/IP and Profibus with S-Net, the
Private Control Network (PCN) for Saia
PCD
®
●
General use of web technologies via Ethernet TCP/IP and Profibus for
commissioning, operation, monitoring and diagnostics
●
Network connections integrated into the base unit; Profibus interface integrated
into the operating system of the new PCD controllers and PCD3 RIOs (included
in the base unit, at no extra charge)
●
Profi S-Net with optimized protocols and services for efficient operation of
PCD3 RIOs and PCD3 controllers on the Profibus
●
Multi-protocol operation:
The new PCD controllers and PCD3 RIOs support Profibus-DP and S-Net on
the same socket
●
Continuity and security of investment:
All PCD systems can be integrated into almost any design using existing
Profibus and Ethernet TCP/IP connections
For further details, see Manual 26/845.
SBC PCD web server
All PCD controllers and PCD3 RIOs come with an integrated web server as standard:
●
Web browser as a tool for commissioning, support and visualization:
Access to the SBC web server is via standard web browsers such as Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This makes the web browser, which can be
operated intuitively by anyone, the standard tool for commissioning, service,
support and visualization of machines, units and installations. The user can
retrieve pre-defined device and system-specific HTML pages, giving access
to all data on controllers and RIOs. Graphical elements (images, diagrams
etc.) as well as text documents (operating and repair manuals) can also be
integrated into the HTML pages, to provide a personalized user interface
●
General access to any desired interfaces and networks:
Access to the web server is available not only via Ethernet TCP/IP, but also via
cost-effective standard serial interfaces (RS
-232, RS-
485, modem etc.) and via
Profibus networks, throughout the system and at different levels in the network.
This makes it economical to use web technology to operate and monitor even
the smallest applications.
●
The SBC PCD web server is integrated into all products:
Having a web server integrated as standard eliminates the cost of run-time
licenses or additional modules. In all new PCD controllers and the PCD3 RIOs,
the web server is already included in the base units, at no extra cost.
