Configuration Software
What is the configuration
First of all, '' configuration '' is a concept into a vulgar convention, and there is no clear definition. But it often appears in the industrial automation field, so we can consider the configuration software for industrial automation is a general-purpose data acquisition and monitoring software . However, the system configuration itself is not monitored, the software design is for the monitoring system, the monitoring system will in general the contents encapsulated in various ways to the user an intuitive to use.
Here the removal of a paragraph about the configuration of your mother.
Meaning "configuration (Configure)" is "Configuration", "Settings", "Settings" and other means, refers to the user to complete the software functionality they need in a simple way like "building block" without the need to write the computer program, which is called "configuration." It is sometimes called "secondary development", the configuration software is called "secondary development platform."
Features & Benefits
Provides rich functionality for industrial automation monitoring, it can collect all kinds of information from the device, the information presented graphically, etc. easier to understand and analyze the information necessary for processing and storage, issue control instructions, etc. .
User to configure the combination according to their needs to complete its own system. Users can easily implement a variety of monitoring systems by the configuration software. In this sense, the configuration is a semi-finished products , but the complexities of the underlying operating encapsulate the users on this basis, a further tissue, enabling monitoring system available.
This is important, for non-computer professional people with a high level language (Java / C ++) to write a complex monitoring system is very difficult, and is often the scene configuration appears field of industrial automation, configuration software convenience that it has become widely accepted in the art.
Convenient development, short cycle, easy to expand, the lower threshold, mature common components.
insufficient
In fact, there is no obvious shortcomings, but relatively ugly picture of the universal reaction. Way configuration flexibility will be worse than the average PC software.
purpose
Easy monitoring and control of automated processes and equipment.
Product Configuration
More well-known configuration products, domestic Kingview (Asia-Technology), ForceControl (power control) and so on, many well-known foreign companies such as Siemens, Emerson has its own configuration software.
Configuration price, examples
Molding monitoring system is based on the hardware. Deploying a system, divided software and hardware configuration programs, the hardware configuration is assembled in the cabinet accessory kit (controller, I / O cards, communication modules, power modules, etc.), comprises a cable or the like. Thereafter, the manufacturer provided software platform, the process I / O data table, process flow diagrams, the application software objects controlled by the control logic is prepared, on the display screen of the host computer to make the dynamic flow chart, and by the controller software for the control strategy, the completion of the entire control process.

In addition, I consulted several companies offer software configuration, understanding down, several domestic prices significantly lower than abroad. Data exchange points in one hundred generic configuration software, prices generally in the million or less (the general configuration of roughly 128 points in less than 5,000), the price is good. After the purchase, usually in the form of hand (dongle, user manual CD, warranty book) is.
