News from DELTA LOGIC

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.

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 2024.

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!

For the high-performance OPC UA Server from DELTA LOGIC, there is now also a suitable maintenance contract available. This means that you are always up to date, e.g. when there are firmware updates or a new version of the TIA Portal is released. The latest version of the ACCON OPC UA Server will be sent to you by e-mail as soon as it is released.

Virtual Devices are the new highlight of our high performance OPC UA Server for data exchange with Siemens PLCs and SINUMERIK controllers. On the one hand, this allows you to realize client-client communication without using a controller and, on the other hand, to operate controllers in virtual device mode in order to perform tests without being connected to the production system.

If you want to record certain data from an older S7 PLC, the best way to do so is with an appropriate communication adapter. With this, you can access the controller directly from the PC. The perfect complement to this is the matching datalogger. This way you can easily analyze the data for quality assurance and quality control.

You want to remotely maintain your system? For this, you need a VPN router on the one hand and a VPN service on the other. DELTA LOGIC offers both as a perfectly coordinated combination. You can find all information about the perfect combination for secure remote maintenance in this article.

Everyone is familiar with the stories of well-known software companies that were founded in a garage. With DELTA LOGIC it was similar, but the story did not start in a garage, but in a former US missile depot in Mutlangen, Swabia. With five people DELTA LOGIC started 30 years ago and thus also the origin of our Schwabenware.

Until now, old machines based on SINUMERIK 810D pl or 840D pl could not simply be reused if the Siemens PHG teach pendant or HT6 broke down. However, with the Roth Operator Panel (ROP), there is a manual operating device with which such machines can be retrofitted. The special feature here is that the ROP replaces 1:1 the handheld programming unit that is no longer available. This means that these machines can continue to be operated in a fast, simple manner without having to carry out a complete modernization. The ROP's access to the SINUMERIK machine tool controllers is made possible by the ACCON-AGLink communication software.
