Notes on System Architecture
The Veeder-Root Enterprise Driver provides
communication between the APOGEE® Automation
System and a distributed network of local and/or
remote Veeder-Root TLS systems via serial or Ethernet
(Intranet/Internet) topology.
A large number of Veeder-Root TLS controllers can be
accessed with one driver, with the maximum number
dependent upon the total number of integrated points
that are desired.
Functionality
The Veeder-Root Enterprise Driver can be loaded
into PXC Modular hardware. The driver is a
microprocessor-based, multitasking platform designed
for multi-system communication and control. It
communicates with Insight
®
software, other APOGEE
field panels and controllers, and the Veeder-Root system.
Through the Insight workstation, the Veeder-Root points
can be monitored and commanded. The Veeder-Root
points integrated into the APOGEE Automation System
can be accessed by system applications such as Powers
Process Control Language, scheduling, trending, and
alarming.
The Veeder-Root Enterprise Driver will not affect, in
any way, the operating sequence or safeties as factory
programmed into the Veeder-Root.
Keys to Success
Ensure that all Veeder-Root equipment to be integrated
is supported by the Veeder-Root Enterprise Driver.
Verify that any Veeder-Root TLS systems to be integrated
via Ethernet are equipped with the Veeder-Root TCP/IP
card.
Benefits
Systems integration brings the po
werful facility control
capabilities of the APOGEE Automa
tion System
together with the Veeder-Root sy
stem. Integrating the
Veeder-Root points allows both systems to operate as
a single system providing marked advantages in the
following:
• Reduced operating and training costs.
• Increased employee productivity.
• Increased diagnostic capabilities to extend
equipment life.
• Improved systems information and control.
• Maximized energy savings.
Products Supported
Veeder-Root models supported by the Veeder-Root
Enterprise Driver include:
• TLS-300
• TLS-350
• TLS-350R
