2.5 Configuring ETC−MMI and ETC−MMI gateway
The program "ETC−MMI" is used for the following tasks:
ƒ Configuring the control system
ƒ Operating and monitoring the control system
ƒ Maintenance of the control system and error diagnosis
The MMI gateway is the communications program between Windows
applications and ETC control systems. Different applications such as MMIs,
configuration tools or OPC servers can establish connections to one or more
control systems at the same time.
The gateway implements all required mechanisms for access control, error
handling and diagnostics and supports control−specific hardware drivers
and communication protocols. By means of the configuration tools, new
connections can be added and existing connections can be edited.
The ETC−MMI Gateway is installed during the installation of the Lenze
ETC−MMIs. It can also be installed as a separate application. In this case, it is
available as communication channel for other applications.
