Sigmatek-Xplorer

Description

The Sigmatek-Xplorer data interface is suitable for measurement data acquisition on a SIGMATEK PLC via TCP/IP using the standard NICs. Access is transparent for the controller. It is not necessary to configure or program the controller especially. The signals to be measured can conveniently be selected based on the symbolic names supported by the ibaPDA symbol browser. This enables access to all measurable symbols (servers, clients, global variables), based on the imported server object list of the SIGMATEK LASAL project. LASAL SERVICE is the programming software of SIGMATEK.

Up to 16 connections can be configured per license with a Sigmatek-Xplorer interface. A total of 64 connections can be established by purchasing up to an additional 3 one-step-up-Sigmatek-Xplorer licenses. One connection is required per connected SIGMATEK PLC.

Interface configuration

Set all values to zero when the connection to a PLC is lost.

If this option is enabled, all the measured values of the PLC are set to zero as soon as the connection is lost. If this option is disabled, ibaPDA will keep the last valid measured value at the time the connection was lost in the memory.

Start acquisition even if a PLC is not accessible.

If this option is enabled, the acquisition will start even if the PLC is not accessible. In case of an error, an alert is indicated in the validation dialog. If the system has been started without a connection to the PLC, ibaPDA will try to connect to the PLC at regular intervals.

Allow inaccessible symbols

Enable this option to start the acquisition even if no symbols are accessible. The inaccessible symbols are issued as warnings in the validation dialog. This can only occur if the address book is not up to date. If you do not activate this option, then the measurement will not start in the presence of inaccessible symbols.
