ioLogik E1200 User's Manual
The "push" technology also supports tag updates. When the I/O the status changes, updates will be
sent from the ioLogik to Active OPC Server Lite. Compared with constantly polling (pull-based)
the status, this feature efficiently reduces network bandwidth usage and speeds up the response
time with event-driven, push-based status updates. At the same time, the heartbeat function
confirms visually that the ioLogik is "alive" and working.

Features of Active OPC Server Lite

Automatic tag generation
Active OPC Server Lite creates the tags for the target ioLogik automatically without needing to
specify IP addresses, I/O channels, and data formats one by one or editing and importing any
configuration text files, After selecting the channels to be updated to Active OPC Server Lite, tags
will be generated, without asking for additional input. For ioLogik users, learning OPC technology,
looking up Modbus addresses, configuring data formats, assigning target IPs, and other tasks of
this nautre are not required.
Active tag update with heartbeat detection
ioLogik uses "Active" technology to update the I/O status. This includes the tag status update to
Active OPC Server Lite. Compared to traditional OPC Servers, this mechanism reduces Ethernet
bandwidth usage by 80%, and increases the response time of the I/O channels by a factor of 7. The
SCADA PC can now also be load balanced for its CPU time because it simply waits for updates
instead of continuously polling the I/O channel.
