Monitoring and Controlling Networks
This chapter describes how you can monitor and control the devices in your network with
OpenLNS CT. It describes the three methods you can use to read and/or write network
variables and configuration properties: using monitored connections, browsing with the
OpenLNS CT Browser, and using Data Point SmartShapes. This chapter covers how to
bind network variables to the host in order to receive event-driven updates. It also
describes how to change the types and formats of network variables and configuration
properties. It explains how to create simple HMIs in your OpenLNS CT drawing with
Data Point and Visio SmartShapes.
