viewing, archiving and communication over Ethernet and RS485. Ethernet can provide com-
munications limited only by PC resources, and RS485 can provide comms for up to 31 de-
vices. Included as standard is the ability to e-mail, graph, print and export data. Device data
can be entered into any PC on the LAN (Local Area Networks) and automatically viewed and
graphed at any other PC on the LAN.
One of the unique features of the TrendServer software is the Realtime facility in con-
junction with the Communications Server. Realtime data can be retrieved from the device
to a PC via an Ethernet and/or RS485 connection. This data can be viewed, graphed and
logged into the system. Data from the device can be logged to a database and held on a
database server. Remote servers can be added to the comms server to allow access to
remote devices on remote databases not on a local network.
