If clients from NETxAutomation Software GmbH are used, it is possible to use the proprietary network protocol called VNET. VNET is based on 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 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.
