Installation provides a complete set of Java™ based control, application, and user interface objects using installed modules. When provided with a connection to a LAN or the Internet, the SoftJACE can serve graphical views of the control system to any standard Internet browser.
Also over an Ethernet network, the SoftJACE can communicate to various devices and/or other systems, and interoperably share data between them. Drivers for the Niagara Network (Fox/Foxs client/server) and oBIX client/server are standard. Other optional drivers are listed below.
Note that only NiagaraAX drivers using Ethernet connectivity are supported.
Drivers using other connectivity types (e.g. LonWorks FTT-10, serial RS-232, RS-485) are not supported.
At the time of this document update, a few of the additional driver options include:
-
BACnet IP Client (DR-BACNET-AX)
-
BACnet IP Server and Client Bundle (DR-BAC-SR-AX)
-
LON over IP (DR-ILON-AX)
-
OPC Client (DR-OPC-CL-AX)
-
Modbus TCP (DR-MDB-TCP-AX)
-
SNMP (DR-SNMP-AX)
Yet more driver options, including various video drivers, are also available. An option for “Embedded Workbench” is also available, allowing “Web Workbench” access to the SoftJACE station via a web browser. However, note that such Workbench access does not provide platform connectivity.
For more details on available options, see the AX SoftJACE data sheet and your master price list.
