Encountered Problems

  • The main server KP1PC65 crashed for unknown reasons. It can happen of course during the developement phase but it has to be observed.
  • The net connection between the PCs residing in the counting house and the server in SB 4.140 is quite slow (retardation of the order of several seconds). It has to be tested if an improvement can be achieved by placing the server in the counting house.
  • TwinCAT software (for communication with the Beckhoff HW) doesn't work anymore. Already during the installation some months (a year) ago there was not possible to install our own SW!!!

Where to go next?

Continue with FopiDataLoggingSupervisoryControlModule.
