News from DELTA LOGIC

The Austrian Wienerberger Group is the world's largest manufacturer of bricks. Many processes in brick production are automated. Data acquisition and consistent communication are also important factors. The company operates eleven production sites in the Czech Republic alone. The manufacturer relies on the ACCON OPC UA Server from DELTA LOGIC to collect data from the various controller systems in one of the brick factories near Budweis in the Czech Republic.

The certification of an OPC server is not necessary, but confirms the fulfillment of many important requirements by an official body. The ACCON OPC UA Server has successfully passed recertification. Read more about the benefits of using a certified OPC UA Server.

The new version 6.1.0.0 of the proven ACCON AGLink communication library now offers support for TIA Portal V20. It is also possible to work with the latest firmware version of the S7-1500. Read all about the new features of the new software version in this article.

We have been able to keep the prices of our ACCON software stable for many years. New prices will apply from 01. of March, 2025. Take advantage of this opportunity and secure the products at the old price until the end of February.

With the release of the new ACCON AGLink version 6.1.0.0, you can now also purchase ACCON AGLink single licenses with a maintenance contract. All three versions of the single license are now available with a maintenance contract. This ensures that you are always up to date and receive the latest version.

Another year is drawing to a close. We would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and the excellent cooperation. We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season with rest and relaxation as well as a happy and healthy 2025.

Delta Logic develops solutions for industrial communication that help Industry 4.0 companies to save time and money: Machines and controllers can be integrated into modern infrastructure even if they still use Profibus or similar older standards. Such a retrofit is possible with the ACCON Netlink PRO compact network adapter and software for standardized interfaces, such as ACCON OPC UA Server.

If your PROFIBUS communication does not function as desired, you want to identify the source of the error as quickly as possible. With the compact PROFIBUS tester BC-700, which can also be used wirelessly, you can easily check the complete bus physics.

Setting up and wiring classic real laboratory models requires a lot of time and training before the actual programming and operation of the model can begin. With the realistic ProMod-Pro plant simulator, all this effort is eliminated. This means that the actual work with the PLC can be learned without a great deal of manual preparation. The new version 10.0 is now available in our online shop.

Most new machines today are already IIoT-ready. This means that they can be integrated into the Industry 4.0 infrastructure with relatively little effort. But what happens to older, tried-and-tested machines? These do usually not offer these possibilities as standard, as the hardware, firmware and software are not equipped with the corresponding options. Standardized interfaces such as OPC UA only came onto the market later. However, there is also a suitable solution for this. With the handy ACCON NetLink PRO compact adapter, you can also use older, highly reliable machines in the context of Industry 4.0.

Operating system of old Insys router models will soon no longer be supported older router models, such as EBW, MoRoS, IMON and RSM, have been discontinued from our product range for some time now. The support for the Insys OS operating system used on them will now be discontinued at the end of the year. Newer router models work with icom OS as their operating system and are therefore not affected.

The current version 1.4 of the ACCON OPC UA Server now also supports TIA Portal V19, as well as firmware versions 4.6.1 of the S7-1200 CPUs and 3.1.2 of the S7-1500 CPUs. Read more about communication via OPC UA with SINUMERIK and S7 controllers in this article.

As a quasi-industry standard, OPC UA offers you many advantages. High security, ease of use and cross-platform data exchange in the field of IIoT and Industry 4.0 are important arguments. Many applications today already offer an integrated OPC UA interface as standard, such as Visu or BDE. This significantly simplifies access.

OPC stands for Open Platform Communication and is a communication protocol in the field of Industry 4.0 and IIoT. OPC is increasingly becoming the standard for industrial communication, as it is a general protocol that enables platform-independent communication between devices and products from a wide range of manufacturers. This makes it easy to exchange data between different areas. Data exchange between the control system of one manufacturer and the software of another is often possible in this way without any adjustments. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

With the new update of the ACCON EasyLog data logger, both TIA Portal V19 and the latest firmware versions 4.6.1 and 3.1.2 are supported. In addition to symbol import from TIA V19 projects, the data logger also offers online symbol import. Other new features increase the convenience of CSV and SQL outputs, among other things.

You can use the visual programming tool Node-RED to connect hardware, APIs and online services. The desired processes can be compiled in so-called dashboards according to the simple belly box principle. In this article, we explain how this works in detail in conjunction with an OPC UA server using the ACCON OPC UA server together with an S7-1516 PLC.

Siemens released the new version 19 of the TIA Portal in November 2023. Now our popular ACCON AGLink communication library also supports the new TIA V19. Furthermore, ACCON AGLink offers suitable support for the latest firmware versions of the S7-1200 and S7-1500 CPUs in the new version 6.0.2.0.

UA NodeSets are data structures in OPC UA. The OPC Foundation offers many already predefined NodeSets. In contrast to normal variables, this allows more complex, related data to be processed easily. We will show you how to use them in the ACCON OPC UA Server.

DELTA LOGIC is now offering the very compact and cost-effective MIRO-L230 world mobile router. The smallest router in our portfolio offers support for many mobile radio frequencies, two Ethernet connections and a configurable digital input/output, as well as maximum security and simple remote access.

The use of virtual devices opens up many possibilities: You can easily test your OPC UA configuration in advance without access to the production system. In addition, communication between two clients can be implemented without a controller. You can find all the details on the exact application in this article.

The popular MRO VPN router series has been given a new name. Based on the design of the well-known modular MRX routers, the MRO is now called MRX2 LTES. The familiar functionality and application options of the router remain the same. Read more about the router with integrated LTE modem in this article.

If you want to find out more about remote maintenance, the term VPN often crops up in this context. But what exactly is a VPN? What do I need it for? And what does such a VPN look like for remote maintenance of a system? Find out everything you need to know about VPNs in this article.

With the new update of ACCON AGLink there is a new supported operating system. From version 6.0.1.0, you can also communicate with Siemens PLCs from the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Also brand new: The Windows Single license Pro, which contains all modules, including the SINUMERIK AddOn.

Take the opportunity now and save twice! From now on many routers in our assortment are reduced in price. And if you purchase the router in the anniversary offer together with the VPN service DELTA LOGIC Connectivity Service as a remote maintenance combo, you can save even more!
