Backups General information Backup and restore mechanisms are used for fast recommissioning after a possible system failure or device reset. Previously backed up data is transferred to the same PLCnext device and the original status is restored. In this version the PLCnext Backup app is responsible… Read More
Function block for gathering SNMP values from managed switches Available with AXC F 2152 and AXC F 3152 General concept By means of this function block, SNMP values from managed switches with up to 8 ports can be read directly by the PLC via the SNMP protocol. arrPartnerList The IP addresses… Read More
Function blocks for data synchronization Available with AXC F 2152 and AXC F 3152 General concept At the Applicative System Redundancy, the same application program is in operation on the two redundant PLCs (First PLC and Second PLC) but only one PLC (either First or Second) controls the process. By means of the ASR_ContrRed_2152 or… Read More
Function block for controller redundancy Available with AXC F 2152 and AXC F 3152 This topic describes the redundancy feature for use with PLCnext Control AXC F 2152 or AXC F 3152 on an applicative base. Note: For hardware-based redundancy with a pair of PLCnext Control RFC 4072R, see System redundancy with RFC 4072R. General concept The communication between the two PLCs necessary for controller… Read More
