MFAC14K1AA0001A Application Equipment Center Module

The MFAC14K1AA0001A simplifies the user’s options for connecting to a wide range of third-party PLCS, drives, bar code readers and other devices. A free version of FACE development software is used to support the MFAC14K1AA0001A, enabling programmers to choose from a comprehensive list of communication drivers and protocols, including Rockwell Automation, Omron, General Motors and Mitsubishi. Supporter is a world leader in HMI solutions and industrial computer products. By offering the industry’s widest range of products with the highest level of connectivity, Supporter-FACE continues to set the global standard for HMI solutions. The module’s real-time performance management employs a PC server running an application based on Indusoft Web Research. The server gets all the key, real-time and computational data from various sources, such as PLCS and ERP systems, and then pushes the data to the thin clients via a Web browser. But that’s not all. Data can also reside on mobile devices or workstations if required.

The server also supports redundant configurations for high reliability, and it can be protected by multiple levels of security – including a secure viewing system that controls Internet access. Produced to run on all Microsoft-supported operating systems, including Microsoft Mobile, Microsoft CE and Microsoft vista, Indusoft also supports all key industry standards such as. Networking, Activity X, COM/DCOM, ODBC, ADO.NET, XML, SOAP, OPC client/server, DDE client/server, and VB scripting. This support enables interaction with virtually all OPC and Microsoft applications, such as Office, Relational Database, Historian, and SPC, QA, ERP, and MOE software.Indusoft also has device drivers for virtually all PLCS and DCES, so it can quickly and efficiently obtain real-time information from any modern control device in use today. In short, real-time performance management. In short, real-time performance management is a major breakthrough in data collection and delivery for SCAD systems. It makes it possible for even small manufacturing and processing plants to access and analyse large amounts of data – from the plant floor to the enterprise.
