Introduction
Client/Server Tools
ProWORX
™
32 allows projects to be developed in a collaborative environment
without sacricing control and security – by utilizing the ProWORX 32 server as the
central repository for projects, the center for security, and the hub for
communications. The system administrator has total control over user accounts,
user groups, passwords, rights, and auditing policies and can grant access when
and where needed.
The client/server relationship allows projects to be skillfully managed and controlled.
The server can be used to keep “Master” versions of PLC projects for editing (subject
to rights), while editing is achieved using the client. This can be done via a stand alone
PC or even on the server, since both client and server can reside on the same PC.
The server has the capability to schedule software backups of the controller, detect
software modications, and store multiple versions. Even more powerful is the ability
to communicate from the client to the server using either Ethernet TCP/IP or
Modbus Plus
™
.
Project Emulator
The project emulator is a very powerful tool that will help save considerable time in
the design and testing of your system. It provides the ability to test projects prior to
running them in the PLC run-time environment to help ensure your system will run
at peak efciency immediately upon commissioning. Two emulators are provided
that test interdependent projects. They are used to test communications, including:
I/O polling and monitoring network activities between projects.
Material List Generation
Want a shopping list for your PLC equipment? The Material List Generation function
automatically creates a list for the project, either online or ofine, even taking into
account the contents of the Trafc Cop. Add prices and comments once the list is
generated, saving you time and insuring that required components are fully
documented and identied.
