Opto22 Engineered Systems
In addition to the other services that we provide, RDI Controls has
teamed up with Opto22 to develop Engineered Solutions utilizing the
versatile SNAP I/O system.
The SNAP I/O system has an unsurpassed reputation for quality and is
capable of providing both the I/O and Controller functionality for your
Process Control / Automation, Data Acquisition, and Communication
(local / remote (SCADA), Ethernet, serial, etc.) applications.
Opto’s Ultimate I/O successfully combines I/O, control functions,
Ethernet networking, and enterprise connectivity into a single,
cohesive system. The SNAP Ultimate I/O system allows for control to be
embedded into the I/O itself, creating a localized, less complex
control system architecture as well as the ability to easily provide
data to existing Enterprise Management Systems.
Some of the features of the SNAP Ultimate I/O system are as follows:
Hardware:
- Supports a mix of Analog, Digital, and Serial I/O modules.
- Each product is 200% tested before any module leaves the factory.
- Programmable functions can be executed independently at the I/O level.
- Each Controller can be setup to run multiple control strategies simultaneously.
- Controllers can communicate with multiple I/O Brain
Boards (locally or remotely) which
allows process control strategies to
run at the I/O level, centrally, or a combination of
both.
- Peer to Peer communication ensures that process
information from one control module is available at other control
modules.
- Each Ultimate I/O Controller runs on a 32bit
processor with 16MB RAM, 8MB Flash
Memory. Log files can be generated,
saved to Flash, and retrieved at a latter dated via
FTP. Files can also
be imported, into the controller, to set up control parameters,
recipes, etc.
- Ethernet connectivity via Internet Protocol
(IP-Based) allows ease of connectivity to
existing networks (LAN, WAN)
and/or the creation of new networks utilizing standard
networking
hardware.
- Communication Modes (network topology): Ethernet,
Wireless, LAN, Cellular, Radio
Modem, and Dial-up PPP.
- Exchanges data directly with Enterprise Databases (no additional software needed).
- Supports simultaneous use of multiple application
level protocols including
Modbus/TCP, FTP,
SNMP, SMTP, etc.
Software:
- ioControl – used to configure Process Control strategies:
- Flowchart based control software with a script language built in.
- Allows multiple control strategies to run simultaneous within each controller.
- Self-documenting English language command set.
- Included at no charge with an Ultimate I/O controller.
- ioDisplay – cost effective Human Machine Interface (HMI) package:
- Provides customizable process data and graphical
displays to give Operators and Technicians the information they need.
- Creates a soft operator interface for control and monitoring of your process.
- Security features to control and log HMI use.
- Plot real time or historical trends using up to 16 data points.
- Software runs on a standard PC connected to the
control network. This allows for control / monitoring (locally or
remotely) of your process via a network connection.
- OptoOPC Server – OLE for Process Control
(OPC) server allows for easily exchanging
data with other systems
(controls, databases, other HMIs, etc.) within your network as
well as
interfacing to customized applications (C++, Visual Basic, etc.) that
may already
be running at your plant.
