Cluster menu

Start explorer …

The Cluster Explorer allows the system integrator to select and integrate datapoints from different OPC Servers or other NETx BMS Platform Core Servers. The datapoints to be synchronized with this server instance can be chosen by simple mouse clicks without any previous knowledge about the internal data structure of the server to be synchronized. The Cluster Explorer can be called only when the server is not running.

Server definitions

Other servers can be connected to the NETx BMS Platform Core Server either through OPC DA or VNET. Thus, data can be focused in one central point clustering different servers of potentially different vendors. This has an impact on possible clients as well. Was it formerly necessary to have a client which is able to connect to several servers at once, now the spectrum of choice is a lot broader. It is also possible to create a redundant system (main/backup) with a cluster solution. Another possibility is it to install another NETx BMS Platform Core Server on a remote computer, gathering data there from different OPC Servers, and relay it to the central server bypassing DCOM with the VNET protocol.

Item definitions

The definitions of the items have to be integrated correctly (to the letter and case-sensitively).
