A Data Server is a module responsible for executing and managing Tags and objects that are not directly involved with communication. With a Data Server, users can configure internal and simulation Tags, in addition to insert XObjects, which are data objects from ElipseX libraries. Some objects that can be inserted into a Data Server are described on the next table.
Objects that can be inserted into Data Servers
Object |
Description |
|---|---|
Counter Tag |
Object that performs a time counting, in seconds, up to a pre-determined value, or that performs a certain counting indefinitely |
Demo Tag |
Object that generates values according to a wave form. It is used to simulate values. It allows generating defined curves or random values |
Internal Tag |
Generic-purpose object, used to store values of any type, including numbers, texts, and other objects |
Timer Tag |
Object that performs a time counting and schedules activities. Establishes certain periods of time, with repetitions, to execute actions |
Data Folder |
Defines groups and sub-directories to organize information. New folders can be inserted inside others, if needed |
NOTE |
Objects inserted in a Data Server are executed by an E3 Server, therefore they are present in that Server. This information shows how Elipse Power works. |
