Pro-face touch screen remote control and data acquisition applications

1, the preamble

 

control data applications Pro-face align="left"> With control data applications Pro-face the development of industrial control technology and the combination of industrial control technology and network technology, computer science, will be based on the network remote monitoring is introduced into industrial applications have been implemented. This example will be through a complete example to describe how to use Ethernet to GP for remote monitoring and data collection.

 

Based on a factory as an example, the customer will use GP2500 SC41-24 v type of more than 40 of touch screen machine network remote monitoring and data collection, through the PC monitor each touch screen picture, and record the output of each machine and the process parameters. Through communication and cooperation with the manufacturers, we implemented the plant's technical requirements.

The following for the concrete implementation process.

 

 

2, operation environment

 

2.1 hardware environment:

* P III CPU,256M memory above above, network interface card (NIC) or network interface of PC

* GP touch screens that have Ethernet port (in this case, use GP2500-SC41-24V)

* The number of switches (in this case, use up to 8 port switch)

 

2.2 software environment

Under MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL system, the installation:

* WINDOWS components, INTERNET information SERVICE IIS (INTERNET IMFORMATION SERVICE) : enter the control panel, add or remove programs, add/remove WINDOWS components, in front of the "INTERNET information services IIS" box box, click ok to add.

* ProPBWin ProServer, GPWeb (including the compiler and the server). Note ProPBWin ProServer, GPWeb put them in the same Pro - face directory, recommend the default directory.

* Microsoft Excel

 

 

 

2.3 the network configuration

1) use wiring:

Using a reverse wiring PC and GP.

* set the IP address of the PC: right click on the "neighbors" online, select properties that enter the "network connections" window, right click on the "local connection", select properties that is in the "local connection properties" window, double click on Internet protocol (TCP/IP), modify the properties as follows (in this case a computer for 192.168.0.188, GP 192.168.0.100).

* set the IP address of the GP: if the new system of excluding the GP, directly click to enter the IP Settings page, set the IP address for 192.168.0.100. If have loading system of GP, please hold the GP LCD three Angle into the off-line setting mode (OFFLINE), choose the INITIALIZE, PLC SETUP, EXTENDED the SETUP, ETHERNET SETUP into TCP/IP Settings page.

 

 

2) through a hub (hub) or switch connection (switch) :

Using ordinary network cable to connect the PC with switches, GP and switches. Set the IP address. Through switches can connect multiple GP, the requirements of each terminal IP address last digit is not the same. Switches between can through the cable connected to each other.

 

 

3, through the Pro - Server for GP data exist to EXCEL spreadsheet

 

3.1 select the node

Running Pro - Studio, click the tools menu select search the active node

 

 

Choose to monitor you GP node and PC

 

Click on the Entry node is loaded.

The left tree just load Node, right click on the Node selection Edit Node Edit Node,

 

 

To the GP node select the right type of PLC and project engineering documents

 

To screen monitor, GP jump straight to the 3.5

 

 

3.2 the registered address

All in this program must be used in the address registered here. Click on the node name in the right margin this node under the registered address list, right-click on a list of the blanks, choose the Register Symbol.

 

 

Correct selection of Data Type and Device Address and then click the Create the from Address will automatically generate Symbol Name, although the Symbol Name can be modified, but we suggest you use the automatically generated Name, the Name is correct and not repeat.

 

3.3 registration actions

Action List, click on the Action List on the right margin right click on the List in the margin to choose Register the Action into the Edit Action interface. Click on the drop-down menu to select your English: action to take, here we write data to Excel document, for example. Selected click on the Action after Registration button, select the Excel the execution of the program

 

According to the Parameter after finish.
