Detailed Operation
Detailed Operation
A StationPortal can communicate with only one client at a time. However, a single client can
communicate with multiple StationPortal devices. Although the number and types of devices
that each client can support will vary, Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY supports a native
interface to the StationPortal that acts as a client. Details on the number and types of devices
that a CIMPLICITY instance can support are described in the CIMPLICITY documentation.
The StationPortal I/O is natively addressable in the Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY control
and visualization product.
Communications Ports
Ethernet Port
The StationPortal unit provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (IEEE802.3) with an RJ45
connector on the bottom of the enclosure. An unshielded, twisted pair, UTP CAT 5 cable is
the minimum required.
LED indicators on the port indicate channel status.
