Each time it reassocaites with a cellular network, an edge device will most likely receive a new IP address from
the carrier. Each time it reassociates, regardless of whether the ioLogik device uses a public IP or private IP, it
will automatically register with the Active OPC Server (which has a static IP address). After registering, the
entire network can be managed by one centralized AOPC server. Thereafter, all I/O data can be read or written
via one powerful cellular device gateway.
The ioLogik W5300 allows you to use a variety of methods to connect with your application software, including
Modbus, OPC client/server, and SNMP. You can also configure AOPC server to send alarms by TCP/UDP, SMS,
and email. For example, if you are using a SCADA application to monitor your system, you can use the OPC
client/server architecture.
Active OPC Server and ioLogik W5300 series products also automatically generate tags, to eliminate the
headache of specifying individual IP addresses, I/O channels, and data formats one by one, or of editing and
importing configuration text files. Instead, Active OPC Server automatically creates the tags for a target ioLogik.
All you need to do is select the channels to be updated from the Active OPC Server. Generally speaking, tag
generation is 50 times faster on Active OPC Server compared to a traditional OPC server, making extra training
for installation and configuration of the OPC no longer a requirement.
The traditional polling architecture occupies more network bandwidth, which results in longer response times.
In comparison, cellular-enabled ioLogik units use push communications, and can report active messages
when predefined events occur. This event-driven logic successfully speeds up I/O response times, allows for
more precise I/O access, and relieves network bandwidth and CPU loading burdens.
Resolving Dynamic/Private IP Issues with DDNS
In addition to using Active OPC Server to register an ioLogik W5300 with SCADA over a dynamic IP cellular
connection, you may also use DDNS to configure the device with a unique URL. The ioLogik W5300 can be
configured to register a DNS hostname (i.e. URL) with DDNS, and thereby convert a dynamic IP to a
publicized address. In this way, centralized control software will be able to connect to the remote ioLogik
W5300 without requiring a fixed IP or VPN service from a network provider.
NOTE
Device features are
dependent on the firmware version. Be sure to use firmware version V1.3 or above for the
ioLogik W5312 series, and V1.5 or above for the ioLogik W5340 series.
