CIMON Xpanels are capable of sharing tag values with CIMON-SCADA through an Ethernet connection.
For this feature, an Xpanel provides two memory areas:
Data Memory
String Memory
Each memory area is composed of 5,000 buffers, which are used exclusively to communicate with CIMON-SCADA.
To use an Xpanel as a data server, you will need to register it as an I/O device in the SCADA project. See the Additional Configuration section for more information.

The General configuration page will appear once a new Ethernet Data Server device has been added successfully. An additional configuration is below the General configuration section and will differ based on the device protocol selected.
Device Specific Configuration
OPC UA Server
Item | Description |
Device Name | Allows the user to assign a name for the selected data server device. |
Device Protocol | Allows the user to select a protocol for a device. |
Use All Tags | Allows the user to upload all of the tags in the project file to the data server. This option is only available for OPC UA SERVER and SPARKPLUG CLIENT device protocols. |
Host | Assign an IP Address for the Data Server |
Ethernet Type | Allows the user to choose between UDP & TCP. |
Port | Assign a port number for the Data Sever. |
Modbus TCP
Item | Description |
Device Name | Allows the user to assign a name for the selected data server device. |
Device Protocol | Allows the user to select a protocol for a device. |
Host | Assign an IP Address for the Data Server |
Port | Assign a port number for the Data Sever. |
Sparkplug Client
Item | Description | |
Device Name | Allows the user to assign a name for the selected data server device. | |
Device Protocol | Allows the user to select a protocol for a device. | |
Use All Tags | Allows the user to upload all of the tags in the project file to the data server. This option is only available for OPC UA SERVER and SPARKPLUG CLIENT device protocols. | |
Broker Address | Assign an IP Address for the Broker Device. | |
Port | Assign a port number for the Broker Device. | |
Client ID | The timeout feature periodically checks whether the connection is still valid. If a requested frame is not received in the assigned time, it will be processed as a communication failure. This option is not applied if the protocol is TCP/IP. Values represent multiples of 100ms. For example, a value of 10 represents 1000ms or 1 second. | |
QOS | Assign the number of communication retry attempts after a communication failure. | |
Use SSL | Allows the user to upload all of the tags in the project file to the data server. This option is only available for OPC UA SERVER and SPARKPLUG CLIENT device protocols. | |
