Hirschmann Automation and Control announces a new version of the Industrial HiVision network management software – Operator Edition 3.0. With this latest release, information such as the device status, link status or network load can be integrated directly into SCADA systems via an OPC Data Access 2.0 server. No specialist SNMP knowledge is required.
The overall status of the network or sub-networks can even be displayed with just a single OPC variable. To simplify the integration further, a graphical representation of the network topology can be embedded into SCADA systems via an ActiveX control, included in the scope of delivery.
The software, which is available for both the Windows 2000/XP and Linux, supports automatic detection of network topology via LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), which considerably reduces the initial configuration work. Network components and end devices such as PLCs or I/O components can thus be displayed and monitored within minutes of installing the software.
