FE MONITOUCH V8 SERIES Reference: Additional Functions page 291

20 MES Interface Function
ODBC: Open DataBase Connectivity
ODBC is the interface between an application (V-Server) and databases.
Because ODBC accommodates the differences in specifications between databases,
users just need to create programs based on the ODBC-specified procedure in order to
access those databases.
• When two Ethernet ports are used, two IP addresses can be set for the V8 so that different
networks can be established respectively in the factory and the office. System configuration is
therefore made simple in the existing facilities.
* An optional unit is mounted on MONITOUCH equipped with a built-in LAN port.
