3.3 Connection to a PLC system
For the inclusion into your PLC system several HMI/SCADA project-
engineering platforms are at your disposal that has to be installed at
an external PC. Here you may create your project, where appropriate
simulate it and transfer it to the Touch Panel via a connection that
you’ve entered before. Via the at the Touch Panel pre-installed run-
time version of the HMI/SCADA project engineering platforms your
project is run able.
By using the according communication driver, the Touch Panel sup-
ports connecting options to the PLC via field bus and Ethernet.
During operation your operating device communicates with the
according PLC and reacts to the application courses in the PLC
according to the configured processes. Via dialogues configured
before, process values may be monitored graphically, altered and
evaluated.
