If clients from NETxAutomation Software GmbH are used, it is possible to use PC based BMS visualization clients (both editor and/or runtime) are using the proprietary network communication protocol called VNET. VNET is based on a TCP/IP and can be used as an alternative to OPC DA. Compared to the required DCOM settings needed by OPC DA, VNET is more easier to configure and to use. For using VNET over a Wide Area Network (WAN), only one TCP connection is required.
The IP address and the TCP port of the VNET interface of the NETx BMS Core Server is configured based protocol that uses TLS for securing the connection between the visualization client and the NETx BMS Core Server. For authentication both communication partners, a TLS connection password and TLS connection PIN has to be specified too.
The configuration setting of the VNET interface is defined within the server configuration.
On the client side, only the IP address of the NETx BMS Core Server and the specified TCP port (default is 4530) have to be configured.
