4.4.3.2 Sample topology 2: Separate control and visualisation
[4-2] Sample topology: Controller 3200 C as gateway for the Visualisation Controller (IPC)
The Visualisation Controller (IPC) accesses the field devices via the Controller 3200 C as gateway.
In order to separate the control and visualisation, the integrated gateway function of the controller
can be used.
The use of this topology is advisable...
• to achieve a higher performance;
• for the use of different operating systems within one automation system.
Engineering tools required: »EASY Starter«, »Engineer«
Advantages
• No impact on the real-time capability of the fieldbus by the visualisation.
• Several visualisations can access the controller.
• Most suitable for extensive visualisation processes.

Note!
In case of Controller c300/p300, the gateway function is not supported (in preparation).
