What Type of Data Gets Transmitted in an IP Network?
The type of data transmitted in an IP network includes alarms, RBE signal
changes, audit trail, or array data, etc. The various methods of IP network data
collection are described below:
Data What is this used
Collection for?
Method:
Alarm Data Collecting analog alarm
Collection and logical alarm signal
data, when these signals
enter or leave an alarm
state.
Report By Collecting RBE logical
Exception signals which change
(RBE) Data status, or RBE analog
Collection signals which have a
value change exceeding
a specified deadband.
Remote Data Collecting signal, array,
Base Access signal list, archive or
(RDB) Data audit trail data. RDB
Collection access is used by Open
BSI and other programs
specifically written to
use RDB commands.
Often this type of
collection occurs based
on user request, i.e.
calling up a DataView
Window, etc.
Peer-to-Peer Sending signal and/or
Communication array data from one
controller, to another
controller, so the other
controller can perform
some processing on it.
Network 3000 Communications Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 - Introduction
What sort of configuration activities are
required?
Signals must be declared as alarms in the ACCOL
load. Up to four different destination IP addresses
may be specified for receiving alarm data from a
particular node. Additional configuration may be
required, however, within the HMI/SCADA package
in order to retrieve the alarms.
Signals must be declared as RBE signals in the
ACCOL Load. An RBE Module must be configured
in each ACCOL load containing RBE signals. Up to
four different destination IP addresses may be
specified for receiving RBE data from a particular
node. Compatible RBE Manager software must be
available for the particular Network Master
HMI/SCADA software.
Configuration varies depending upon the program
being used.
Users must configure IP_Client and IP_Server
Modules in their ACCOL loads.
