TOP Server V5.6 – Features and New Release Presenter: Kevin Rutherford Senior Applications Engineer
Agenda • Overview of TOP Server • Server Updates/Enhancements • Driver Updates/Enhancements • Live Demonstration • Media Level Redundancy Config. • OPC ProgID Redirect • Coming in V5.7 • Summary and Q&A
TOP Server Server Enhancements • Media Level Redundancy Plug-In • Three Operating Modes • Switch on Failure • Primary Only • Secondary Only • Two Types of Redundancy • Communications Path Redundancy (CPR) • Device Pair Redundancy (DPR) These modes can be combined for greater levels of redundancy
TOP Server Media Level Redundancy • Communication Path Redundancy • Same Device • Redundant Communication Paths • Examples • One Device with both Ethernet and Serial • One Device with two Ethernet modules
TOP Server Media Level Redundancy • Device Pair Redundancy • Identical Redundant Devices • Same Tags / Same Logic • Device failure does not result in full loss of data
TOP Server Media Level Redundancy • Client Item Management with Redundancy • Static Tags • Must be defined in TOP Server for primary and secondary • Client accesses primary device tags only • Dynamic Tags • Client access primary device only • Plug-in automatically mirrors client tags from primary to secondary (affects tag count) • Redundancy System Tags
TOP Server Media Level Redundancy • Advanced Simulator • AB Data Highway • AB Unsolicited Ethernet • Custom Interface Driver • Dataforth IsoLynx • DDE Client • Hilscher Universal • Memory-Based Driver • Mettler Toledo Serial • Modbus Plus • Modbus RTU Slave Serial • Modbus TCP/IP Slave/Unsolicited • ODBC Client • OPC Client Suite (DA / UA) • Sattbus Serial • Siemens TCP/IP Slave • Simulator • Sixnet UDR • UCON • Yaskawa Memobus Plus • Supported for “Master” Serial and Ethernet Drivers • Most Drivers support Media Level Redundancy • Some Drivers Do Not: • Drivers Requiring 3rd Party Interface Cards (AB DH+, Modbus Plus, etc.) • “Slave” Drivers (Modbus Unsolicited, etc.) • Drivers Requiring 3rd Party Libraries (GE Focas, etc.)
TOP Server Server Enhancements • Device Scan Rate Modes • Three Scan Modes • Respect client specified scan rate (Default) • Mimics previous behavior • Request data no faster than… • Sets a scan rate floor • Request all data at… • Sets a fixed scan rate
TOP Server Server Enhancements • OPC ProgID Redirect • Maps OPC DA ProgID to TOP Server V5 • Useful for: • Migration from 3rd party servers • Upgrading from TOP Server V4.x
TOP Server - New Driver • New Weatherford 8500 Serial Driver • Developed in Coordination with Weatherford International • Support for: • Rod Pump Controllers • Controllers supporting Weatherford 8500 Serial Protocol • Auto Tag Generation by Model
TOP Server - New Driver • New MTConnect Client Driver • Shop Floor Devices/Applications • MTConnect Standard(V1.1.0) • Command Support: • Probe • Current • Auto Device/Agent Discovery • Auto Tag Generation
TOP Server Driver Enhancements • ControlLogix Ethernet • Serial Gateway Support • Access to Logix controllers via serial port using a Logix Gateway • EtherNet/IP Gateway • Access to EtherNet/IP capable AB Devices via Logix Gateway
TOP Server Driver Enhancements • Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet • Applicom addressing support (3 Device Sub-Models) • DNP3 Suite (Ethernet & Serial) • WITS Specification (Phase 3) Support • File Control & Activate Configuration • Torque Tool Ethernet • New Device Model – FEP (Ford Ethernet Protocol variation)
TOP Server Driver Enhancements • Fisher ROC Serial / Plus Serial • Increased Max Device/Channel to 255 • Mitsubishi Ethernet • Increased address range support • SNMP • Inform support for SNMP V2c/V3 Traps and Notifications • Communication Serialization (Virtual Networking)
TOP Server Live Demo • Live Demonstration • Media Level Redundancy Configuration • OPC ProgID Redirect http://www.toolboxopc.com/html/product_details.html
Coming in TOP Server V5.7 (Q4 2011) • New Drivers • Alstom Ethernet Driver • Bristol IP Driver • Lufkin (ELAM) Modbus Driver • Weatherford 8500 Serial Driver – Phase 2 • New Features • Remote Configuration
