The independent network to interconnect any type of systems Product Overview DxNode®Net (Data eXchange Node Network) The independent network to interconnect any type of systems

Example – Classical Connection of Systems Classical: every interface requires its own driver … SCADA 1 ERP/MES … the OPC standard is a relief however, it is not unified and, DCOM bears quite some limits … individual Driver Driver cross connections OPC Client/Server Server Client … maintenance or replacing a system may become expensive HMI x DCS y PLC z SCADA n SCADA 2 … cross connections require more drivers and add to the diversity of interfaces

DxNode.Net – Communication Concept On every system, a DxNode is installed … … all DxNodes together form DxNode.Net … SCADA 1 ERP/MES … the DxNodes are connected via the standard network … OPC XML DxNode.Net DxNode DxNode TCP/IP Network DxNode HMI x DxNode DxNode DCS y PLC z DxNode SCADA n DxNode XML OPC XML OPC XML SCADA 2 … systems are connected via XML protocol or by OPC

DxNode.Net – Goals and Features Low impact between systems by separate communication layer Large/complex installations are maintainable (safeguard investment) Any system can exchange data with any other system (distributed DB) Applicable to Process/SCADA/MES/ERP systems incl. internet High availability and data consistence, even via internet Comfortable multi-user operation, even via internet Transparency by two address spaces for 1. network and 2. application Customized standard adaptable by XML Schema Supports OPC data models (value/time/quality) Simple XML interface incl. validation (XML Schema compliance test) Low cost for interfaces and maintenance

DxNode.Net – Potential Applications DxNode.Net may be applied where ever real time data is exchanged e.g. in the following areas … Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Management Execution Systems (MES) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) Process Control and Visualization Systems Building Control Systems Traffic Control Systems Facility Management Process Data Collection and Distribution General Data Processing
