Web Connect
Web Connect provides gateway and proxy server functions for PCs
and web panels with Windows operating systems. Through the HTTP
gateway function, the web servers of cost-efficient Saia PCD
controllers can be controlled without an Ethernet connection via
RS-485. This access option is transparent for HTTP clients and web
browsers. It makes sense to use it as a proxy server with a caching
function primarily in larger web projects. Access to these projects
can be speeded up significantly for slower RS-485 or modem
connections. The caching function can, however, also be used to
speed up HTTP direct connections. The individual controllers are
grouped together in station tables. The individual connections can
be operated and configured via normal Internet browsers.
S-Bus Master – Efficient communication
Native communications drivers and .Net class libraries for an
efficient integration of S-Bus components into Windows applica-
tions. The S-Bus Master component of SBC.Net allows applications
to access, read and write to PCD media. The application requires
no knowledge of the protocol used. Simple programming
interfaces with class libraries ensure easy integration into Windows
applications. The communications driver supports the simultane-
ous communication with multiple controllers.
Applications: Windows visualisations, reading the Saia PCD®
energy meters
S-Bus slave – Reduction in network load
Native communications drivers and .Net class libraries for an
efficient integration of S-Bus components into Windows applica-
tions. By integrating the S-Bus slave components, the application
can respond to events and trigger the relevant functions and
responses. Using the S-Bus Slave will substantially reduce the load
on the network as the Windows applications will no longer have to
poll the individual stations.
Applications: Event logger without polling.
LibCgi – Open communication
The Microsoft .Net class library enables the simple exchange of
data via the PCD web server. Windows applications can access PCD
media efficiently via CGI calls via port 80. CGI calls enable Windows
applications to also access (read and write) the file system of the
PCD controller directly.
Applications: Windows visualisations which exchange data via the
Internet or Intranet networks.
PCD8.SBC.NETSUITE *
Communications class libraries for programming Windows applications with components based on Microsoft.NET technology,
including documentation and examples as well as access to updates for 1 year
Standard .Net technology from Microsoft® and SBC.Net communications components provide
software developers with easy ways of integrating SBC automation components into their Windows
applications, without having to worry about communications drivers.
