CHAPTER 15 – Connecting to a remote CX-Supervisor application
OMRON
Peer to Peer
Several applications are written to share data with each other. Actually, an application is written as a Server to
connect directly to a device, but is also a Client using other Servers to connect to other devices through the
corporate network.
Distributed Server
Several applications are configured as Servers for direct connection, so the data for the system is 'distributed'
across several machines. One or more Client applications collect the data from the distributed servers. This
can be useful to help performance, by distributing the communication on the device connections, and server
processing. It can also provide different security for different clients and offers limited protect against
failures, as remaining servers still function.
