Data Management Software Release
Pro-face have released their latest data management software.
The GLC2300 is equipped with a 5.7in display and a housing body made of recyclable die-cast aluminum for enhanced cooling.
The rear panel has no need for air-cooling vents and so provides outstanding protection against dust and foreign particles.
The GLC2300 series is designed to enhance data handling on the factory floor.
The built-in CompactFlash card socket allows users to access production information such as logged data, recipes, alarm histories, and screen images on a trigger event.
It also allows data sharing with PC applications and other devices, and screen data maintenance.
The GLC2300 Series supports hundreds of different controllers, such as PLCs, temperature controllers, and inverters from over 25 makers around the world.
The expansion serial port is programmable for serial device connection using the D-Script macro language in the GP-PRO/PB III C-Package01 software.
The single software package for the GP/GLC Series, GP-PRO/PBIII, combines HMI editing and ladder logic programming.
This editor is also fully compatible with the widely used GP Series of Pro-face's operator interfaces.
GLCs use IEC61131-3 ladder logic, the most popular industrial control language, for control programming.
GP-PRO/PBIII is easy to use and has powerful configuration functions.
The screen editor and the logic programming are fully integrated with many useful functions including automatic symbol import and drag-and-drop functionality between the HMI and the control program.
Completed applications are downloaded or transferred to a target GLC unit via a serial connection, an Ethernet port, or a CompactFlash card.
The Ethernet interface and Pro-Server data collection software, support manufacturing information management and high-speed communication with networked PLCs.
Production data from a PLC can be transferred to a data collection server on the network in real-time.
Pro-Server supports ADO, DDE, DLL, OPC, and SQL, and eases data connection with commonly used spreadsheets, databases, or the customer's applications.
GP-Web operation software can be used to implement remote Internet or intranet monitoring, with optional interaction, for efficient production control and system maintenance.
