Run-time database system (DMS)
The data management system is the central
database of the entire system. All process data is
managed in the DMS and is available at all times.
Communication with the individual program
parts (e.g. the graphical editor) is event-oriented.
Long-term database system (PDBS)
The database system stores and manages history
data, alarms and logs. This module also allows
data to be exported to other databases, enabling
process data to be collected in real time and
stored in different databases.
Process Engineering Tool (PET)
The PET provides a convenient and clear representation of all data from the
data management system in tabular form. All data (incl. communication,
alarming, logging, functions, etc.) belonging to a project can therefore be
created and managed in the Process Engineering Tool.
Database systems
The S-Driver
The S-Driver is used for communication with SBC automation stations based
on the S-Bus protocol. The driver supports all types of communication, e.g.
serial interface, modem, USB and TCP/IP. Because the S-Driver is based on SBC
’s own SCOMM-DLL, all PG5 tools can be used in parallel with it. The S-Driver
has a mechanism to optimize data traffic using automatically generated
telegram packets. A further optimization is achieved by prioritizing telegrams
according to categories, such as alarms, actual values, or setpoints.
Visi.Plus as OPC client
To enable the neutral integration of automation systems even from
other manufacturers, Visi.Plus offers an OPC client that reads data
from the OPC Server of a third-party supplier and automatically
enters it in the Visi.Plus DMS database. The user can then access it
for further processing in the Graphical Editor or Alarm Manager, or
for storage in the history database.
