| This section gives an illustrative example of the Xpanel Data Server feature. Settings may differ depending on your project’s configuration. |
Exercise: Connecting to CIMON-SCADA with Ethernet
Data Server Configuration
a) Select [Tools ] – [Database] and create tags for communication with CIMON-SCADA. Create three virtual tags: one analog, one digital, and one string tag.
b) Select [Tools] – [Data Server] – [Xpanel Data Server] and add the analog and digital tags to the [Data(D) Memory] area. In the [String(S) Memory] area, add the string tag.
c) To check the tag values during runtime, add three dynamic tag values to the page.
CimonD Configuration
a) Open CIMON-SCADA and add two COM blocks to the I/O device as shown below.
b) Select [Tools] – [Database] and register real tags with addresses D0, D1 and S0. Set D0 as a digital tag, D1 as an analog tag and S0 as a string tag.
Checking the Operation
a) Download the XpanelDesigner project to Xpanel and execute it. Save all changes to the SCADA project, then run CimonX.
b) In CimonX, open the Network Status tool and verify that the station is connected. Using the [Database] tool, you can manually change the value of each tag. Whenever you apply a change, the new value should be shown on the Xpanel screen.
