SIXNET
Datalog Server |
|
 |
| SIXNET
offers the ability to gather time stamped data in remote locations
and easily transfer these data records to your central database,
or SCADA system over an Ethernet, telephone or wireless link.
At each remote location a RemoteLog or VersaTRAK
IPm RTU collects real-time data and stores it with a time stamp
in its protected memory. (Data is not lost if there is a power
failure.)
|

| |
|
Then,
at intervals you select, these time stamped data records are transferred
to your central database. This client
initiated data transfer offers important
advantages over traditional polling methods, including safe
passage of data through firewalls, fast response of a “report
on exception” system, and the ability to use DHCP protocol
to avoid the need to assign permanent IP addresses to each station.
(Static IP addresses can be expensive or simply not available.)
At the central
host, the SIXNET Datalog Server software receives the data records
from the remote dataloggers and passes it to your data storage
system. For critical archiving requirements, two servers can be
run in parallel, and the clients can be instructed to transfer
the data to these redundant servers.

| There
are two common ways to use this versatile software: |
- Off-the-Shelf
Solutions
For data archiving systems, log files are automatically created
to store the historical data. Organized by location and date,
you can easily view the data with Microsoft Excel or any other
software that can read a text file. This simple and low cost
solution will replace your legacy chart recorders with a modern
computer solution.
- Adapt
To Your Own Software
This server software will also format the received data for
upload to your central database. Data is stored until your system,
acting as the master, retrieves it. The source code for the
server interface is available to give you full control over
the interface. If you are using an operating system other than
Windows, or if you have special requirements, the source code
for the interface to this server may be purchased from SIXNET
to enable you to meet your requirements. The source
code for the Datalog Server is available to our OEM customers
(contact us for details).
The Datalog
Server software is bundled with the datalogging option for the
SIXNET I/O Tool Kit. Merely install
the latest version of the I/O Tool Kit from the SIXNET CD and
the server will be installed automatically. Existing Tool Kit
licenses that include the datalogging option will run this new
server with no additional considerations. |
