ControlMaestroTM
ControlMaestro connectivity
ControlMaestro’s connectivity modules include the industry’s most powerful BACnet implementation, versatile Oracle and SQL connectivity, over 160 drivers, an OPC DA Server and an OPC HDA Server, which can be complemented by various M2M hardware products such as communication modems, wireless controllers, telemetry/pulse meters, etc. from ELUTIONS.
BACnet suite™
ControlMaestro’s leading-edge BACnet
integration features a communication driver, an automated
tag generator, a user-friendly management interface, and
full integration with Web Scheduler. The
module enables the upload, editing and download of time-switched
programs for all BACnet devices (over 180
BACnet-compatible manufacturers), the complete object-oriented
remote configuration/maintenance of a BACnet
network and its deployed devices, and tag generation both
online and offline from external *.EDE or *.CSV files. It
supports BACstac 4.
Database Logger™
ControlMaestro’s Database Logger
enables ControlMaestro to enterprise management
systems. This module allows pushing important data from
ControlMaestro to either Oracle or SQL
databases, for access to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
and operations metrics throughout an organization and interconnectivity
with large enterprise applications. Database Logger
enables pushing both tag values and alarms to large enterprise
systems.
SQL™
ControlMaestro’s SQL is a module that enables
you to develop any type of connection to standard database
applications and simplifies the task of creating accurate,
informative reports such as production or energy monitoring,
quality analysis, etc. This module allows the development
of SQL scripts to enable real-time exchange of real-time
or historical data with any database service.
Drivers
More than 160 drivers enable ControlMaestro
to be truly interoperable with hundreds of devices, new
and legacy. And new drivers can be written, so ControlMaestro
can universally connect to virtually all devices, current
and future. The majority of drivers are free of charge,
with a few exceptions offered for sale.
OPC DA and HDA Servers
ControlMaestro’s OPC DA Server enables making
ControlMaestro act as a Data Access Server
to provide application data to other external clients. ControlMaestro’s
OPC HDA Server enables making ControlMaestro
act as a Historical Data Access Server to provide application
data to other external clients.
netLINK for ControlMaestro
netLINK for ControlMaestro
is an Ethernet gateway for PC to PLC communication, which
is compact, low-cost and user-friendly. The bundle combines
hardware and software to form a native solution for ControlMaestro
and Siemens S7 PLCs.
Thanks to a direct connection it eliminates the requirement
to purchase costly Siemens CP Ethernet Coupler cards.
The new netLINK+ enables a larger number
of Ethernet and MPI connections.
