DIGITAL Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Digital Device Access Software for Siemens 3964 Ver- sion 3.0 SPD 60.47 DESCRIPTION The Digital Device Access Software (DAS) for Siemens 3964 allows both BASEstar Open users and DEComni applications to access Siemens 3964 devices using the 3964[R] or 3964[R]_RK512 protocol. The DAS also allows a Digital system to emulate one or more Siemens 3964 devices. In this way, a Digital system can fulfill requests com- ing from 3964 remote devices. BASEstar Open Data Services provide device independent access to shop floor data allowing users to access data on a Siemens 3964 device sim- ply by getting and putting the value of one or more Device_Data_Points. A request to locally emulated devices can generate an unsolicited event. DEComni API applications can perform a variety of device access func- tions through the DEComni MMS-oriented Application Programming Inter- face (API). Using BASEstar Open Data Services or the DEComni API, users or appli- cations can: o Exchange data messages with Siemens devices (3964[R] protocols). o Perfom direct or named access to Siemens devices memory blocks (3964[R]_ RK512 protocols). The DAS supports only point-to-point RS232 connections.
