New in Inflink V5.00.45 is a built-in Modbus driver, making Infilink a smart choice for SCADA, enabling many projects to be delivered without the need for expensive OPC servers. This TechTip is a run through to get you started.
We're using a Koyo DirectLogic 06 PLC fitted with an H0-ECOM100 Ethernet module as our Modbus device.
Launch the Modbus driver:
Add a Channel...
Give the channel a name - we'll stick with the default - "TCP_Channel_1", click "Next".
Ethernet is gradually becoming the standard interface for PLCs and controllers, the demand for data exchange with upper layer devices (SCADA) over the network and integration with cloud services is also increasing. To meet these demands, Weintek released models with dual Ethernet ports: MT8073iE(7”), MT8090XE(10”), and cMT Series, which all received positive customer feedback. To provide users with a wider choice of screen sizes, Weintek have launched a new 4.3" dual-Ethernet…
Running parallel to the Industry 4.0 Summit, the Factories of the Future EXPO will showcase the latest products and services for Industry 4.0, IIoT, smart factories and the future of manufacturing. The expo will be attended by manufacturing professionals from the UK & continental Europe and will givethem an opportunity to see the latest advances/ new technologies in automation, robotics, software, sensors, virtual reality, augmented reality and other related areas.
In IIoT applications, data integration plays a very important role, to achieve data integration, it’s essential that communication between onsite machines and upper layer data management systems (SCADA, ERP...etc.) is seamless, however, in factories where very often each controller uses a different communication protocol, data integration is challenging.
With more than 20 years of experience of HMI development, the Weintek R&D Team have released the IIoT Smart Communication Gateway: cMT-G01 as a…
In the era of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), not only should the connectivity of equipment on the plant floor improve, upper layer management systems, such as SCADA, MES, ERP…etc, should be able to have immediate access to data produced by factory machines.
Weintek provides the best solution for communication between onsite machines and upper layer management systems. This is achieved with the cMT Series Smart HMIs (cMT-SVR & cMT3151), using the most common M2M protocols: MQTT and OPC UA…
In today’s competitive global economy, soaring energy prices and environmental regulations have driven energy management and efficiency. Metering and monitoring of electricity demand and consumption is core to an energy management system for domestic, commercial and industrial plant.
The combination of cMT3151 and a Smart Meter offers a great solution for an energy demand management system. The accuracy of demand calculation is ensured by two user defined parameters: “Demand Duration” and “Demand…
Launched late in 2013, Automation Direct's Point of View software offers a powerful but easy-to-use software solution for developing and deploying SCADA/HMI solutions throughout industry. The software - available in 500, 1000 and 5000 tag versions - is available as runtime only, development only or combined runtime and development versions and has built-in communications drivers.
The software includes all you would expect from a modern SCADA/HMI package - alarms, recipes, flexible graphical animation…
In October 2012 KEP launched the latest release of their cost-effective Infilink HMI package - version 5.0.27.
This latest version focuses on a number of ease-of-use enhancements to the development software. These include shortcuts for function keys, object movement, aligning objects, resizing objects, zooming and maintaining the aspect ratio for rectangles/squares or ellipses/circles..
The new release also includes stronger encryption of user details.
