Definitions
- Data processing component in the following client, and at least one control, control or distribution component, in the following external control, are provided,
- At least the client is designed as a software component with at least one external interface, in the following property,
- the invention can e.g. can advantageously be used in a process visualization system for visualizing the states of a technical process.
- Communication with the technical process TP is realized by means of connecting external sensors ES or actuators EA of the technical process TP.
- Digital or analog input modules or digital or analog output modules of a programmable logic controller may be mentioned as means for connecting external sensors ES or external actuators.
- the invention is of course not limited to data sources of the type mentioned above; in fact, the invention can also be used to read data from any data source, for example also from a user administration - ie a software application. In such a case, the read date is then the authorization for an action (Boolean property: action may / may not be carried out). 7
- a light EA is shown as an external actuator EA and a push button ES as an external sensor ES.
- the term external actuator EA means any type of actuator, e.g. Motors or variable-speed drives
- the term external sensor ES means any type of sensor, e.g. Limit detectors and sensors of any kind.
- processing and storage device VS can be implemented by the central unit of a programmable logic controller which is in communication with input or output modules intended for use with the respective central unit.
- a first processing and storage device VS for example the central unit of a programmable logic controller with connecting means AM for connecting the process peripherals EA, ES can be communicatively connected to a second processing and storage device, for example a personal computer, the second processing and storage device being provided to control the visualization device.
- the data or information transmission system according to the invention comprises two processing and storage devices, the second, additional processing and storage device being used essentially on the basis of the software applications or tools available for the respectively selected platform.
- Separate software components are basically in the sense of data encapsulation - since direct access to data held in the memory MM is often to be avoided - but are particularly useful if preprocessing or further processing before the actual visualization of the data the data is required. Such preprocessing or further processing takes place, for example, with a controller implemented as a software component for regulating external technical variables.
- a large number of external controls AS in one and the same data or information transmission system is also conceivable, for example if the data and information transfer between all of them is carried out by means of a first external control AS controllers SV implemented as server SV and the relevant visualization objects CL implemented as clients CL, the data and information transmission between all limit value detectors SV and the relevant visualization objects CL by means of a second external controller AS and the data and Information transmission between the remaining servers SV and the associated visualization objects CL is effected.
- a special feature of the software components used is that a data or information exchange by means of a property Pl ... Pn causes the execution of a code assigned to the property Pl ... Pn.
- the software components in this case the clients CL, are implemented as so-called ActiveX controls or OCX components which bring about exactly this functionality.
- This functionality ensures that a date received by a client CL causes a specific code to be executed immediately.
- a writing data transfer DW with which data is transferred from the external control AS to the client CL at its property P3, the presence of a date for the property P3 results in an immediate execution of a code of the client CL assigned to the property P3.
- this specific code will primarily include the evaluation or evaluation of the transferred date and the subsequent graphic visualization and therefore the corresponding activation of the visualization device VE.
- the external controller AS To connect the visualization objects VL with the technical process TP, or with its process periphery, an object that enables this connection, the external controller AS, must also be placed on the respective screen mask.
- the screen surface object also knows the external control AS. Since the external control AS is conceptually designed to enable data transfer from and to the visualization objects VL, the external control contains at least code to query the container - that is, the screen surface - in which it is contained.
- the user wants to define the interaction between the external control AS and the visualization objects VL, he activates the external control AS, for example, either during the interactive design process of the screen mask or after its design. with the mouse, whereupon a dialog box opens in which the visualization objects VL that can be reached for the external control AS - that is to say the visualization objects VL contained in the container and consequently placed on the screen surface - are displayed in plain text.
- Such a visualization object CL intended for the visualization of the output behavior of a controller, is the controller visualization object VR, which is placed on the user interface as an essentially data-utilizing component.
- the visualization object VR Properties Pl ... Pn is available, with which the current output value of the controller R can be transmitted to the visualization object VR, with which a setpoint can be specified from the visualization object VR to the controller R and with which starting from 19
- the external controller AS gets the elements in the container.
- the simple visualization object CL e.g. 5, in which the external control AS was given the address of the information to be displayed directly
- the external control AS monitors the respective data area PD at runtime and forwards the changed date to the visualization object VL when the monitored data area PD changes , whereby the forwarding of the date corresponds to the call of a set property method, which simultaneously triggers an action on the visualization object VL whose property has been set, in this case, for example the desired color change.
- the concept of the external control AS can therefore also advantageously be used in the case of more complex visualization objects VR, although here the user interaction is different, because in the case described above the user gives e.g. the controller name on the VR visualization object.
- the basic idea of the external control AS also applies in this case, because even with such a constellation, the visualization object VR has no knowledge of a possible later communication relationship at the time of design; i.e. the visualization object VR does not have an explicit call code, which would only be possible at the time of the design if the communication relationship planned at runtime was known.
- the activity is based exclusively on the external control AS.
- an Active-X Control container offers the performance of knowing the elements it contains, that is, other Active-X components, the container offering access to the instance name of the objects it contains, insofar as the container provides one List of pointers to which the objects contained therein are managed, and the plain text designation of the respective objects can be queried on the basis of the respective pointers which point to the respectively contained objects.
- the invention relates to the aspect of executing an application-specific call code required in the prior art as an external control implemented in a separate component, the external control being usable in any container without changing the container itself, nor this at all to know at the time of designing the external control.
