Using TCP/IP for Remote Development, Maintenance & Reporting

The combination of TCP/IP, Ethernet and standard Windows networking is radically changing the cost and attractiveness of remote connectivity for factory automation. Nearly all automation systems can benefit from the ability to perform remote development, maintenance and reporting, but now the cost & complexity of achieving these goals is low.

• High-speed development communications --- from your office to support automation anywhere in the world.  Use ORMEC’s development tools (LAN, intranet or modem connection) to upgrade firmware, tune servo loops, update software, change machine set-up & more.
• Reduce service calls by running implementing software changes via remote link.
• View/monitor system operation while machine is operating.
• Download production schedules and recipes to ORION® controller using standard FTP software.
• Browse your ORION® controller using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. New ORMEC "Web Tools" eliminate programming and are easily integrated into any project.
• Collect production management and statistical reports: access via browser or interface to database.
• Utilize built-in TCP/IP sockets and interface to Visual BASIC, Java, Access, Excel and other programs.
