Fully integrated in the base system
Easier handling: automatic stating, stopping, …
Cannot be distributed to separate computer
Configured by NOD:B, STA:B and Process Objects
OPC Item Name is the “address” of the Process Object
Simple engineering
Runs on the SYS 600 PC
The OPC Server can be in a separate PC (DCOM)
NOTE – The External OPC DA Client is used for the IEC OPC Server!

To only use the DA interface is the most straight forward and robust solution.
Adding the AE interface increases engineering and complexity
In very special cases it would be possible to use the AE interface only.

MS Pro
12345
SYS has a hardware lock mechanism
Used to couple a license to one physical system
The hardware lock is implemented by means of USB sticks
The license is bound to a specific USB stick my means of the HW_KEY field in the license
NOTE! The USB Stick is independent from functionality and product version.
No need to change USB Stick at:
Extensions
Upgrades
Hardware changes

35. USB Stick Usage Redundant (HSB) Systems

Redundant (HSB) Systems
One USB Stick in one of the PCs
Which PC that has the key does not matter
If the PC with the key is down for more than a week, the key has to be moved to the other PC
If this is not accepted, double keys can be requested when ordering the license

40. Hardware Lock Checking
License
HW_KEY = R-AL-12345
SYSTEM_ID = …
MS Pro
12345
No USB stick available
Corresponds to a missing license
When the USB stick has been installed and validated
The system runs without limitations
If the USB stick becomes unavailable (broken, removed, etc.):
The system runs without limitations for one week. After that the functionality is disabled if the system is restarted.
-> Time to fix!
The system reports the failure twice a day (-> alarm)
