Product Overview
DxNodeNet
(Data eXchange Node Network)
The independent network to interconnect any type
of systems
5
Example Classical Connection of Systems
the OPC standard is a relief however, it is not
unified and, DCOM bears quite some limits
Classicalevery interface requires its own
driver
maintenance or replacing a system may become
expensive
SCADA 2
cross connections require more drivers and add
to the diversity of interfaces

DxNode.Net Communication Concept
On every system, a DxNode is installed
all DxNodes together form DxNode.Net
the DxNodes are connected via the standard
network
OPC

SCADA 2
systems are connected via XML protocol or by OPC

DxNode.Net Goals and Features

• Low impact between systems by separate
  communication layer
• Large/complex installations are maintainable
  (safeguard investment)
• Any system can exchange data with any other
  system (distributed DB)
• Applicable to Process/SCADA/MES/ERP systems incl.
  internet
• High availability and data consistence, even via
  internet
• Comfortable multi-user operation, even via
  internet
• Transparency by two address spaces for 1. network
  and 2. application
• Customized standard adaptable by XML Schema
• Supports OPC data models (value/time/quality)
• Simple XML interface incl. validation (XML Schema
  compliance test)
• Low cost for interfaces and maintenance

DxNode.Net Potential Applications
DxNode.Net may be applied where ever real time
data is exchanged e.g. in the following areas

• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
• Management Execution Systems (MES)
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems
  (SCADA)
• Process Control and Visualization Systems
• Building Control Systems
• Traffic Control Systems
• Facility Management
• Process Data Collection and Distribution
• General Data Processing

DxNode.Net and OPC UA (Unified Architecture)
DxNode.Net supports OPC with most of the features
that are planned for the Unified Architecture
however, DxNode provides some more
?

• Ready to use installable product
• No Loss of Events thanks StoreForward
• Transition indication for commands
  (ActionReaction)
• Transmission and comfortable operation via
  Internet
• Customized data point renaming thanks two address
  spaces
• Client and Server functions are configurable
  (roles)
• Client or Server can establish connections
• Any Server-Server and/or Client/Server
  connections
• Supports x-fold redundant systems with automatic
  failover
• Unified function layer, unified configuration
• Supervision of connections (Alive), configurable
  data encryption
• Open source without platform restrictions
