As with the other modules, the Server must connect Hardware on the Main Server to operate. The latter serves as a secure gateway between the Terminal, in charge of driving equipment, and the Hardware Server. This connection leads to activation of different TCP client, connecting to different materials. The Hardware Server serves as a command interpreter between the various connected hardware, and the M-Axis System.
General Setup >
Here are all the grouped operating parameters of the Hardware Server : Addressing Main Server, addressing Hardware Server, mode of communication, and so on. Like other modules, Hardware Server, can be configured to start automatically when you start Windows. A way has been provided, to contact him, with a username and a password. |

The Hardware tab, allows you to configure various equipment connected to the network. Here are defined parameters such as the mode of communication (TCP or UDP), the physical addresses (IP and port), the various data initialization, as well as the various actions to be performed when sending or receiving given, or from the device. In order to manage the connected hardware, so consistently, we begin by defining zones of |
operation, regroup (eg entry, shop, Hall1 ...). Then we add to each zone the equipment used to configure them one by one, with specific IP address, Port, initialization parameter, etc. The connected materials are managed by plugins, which allows the use of any material, if it was configured during the initial setup.
Commands Setup >
This tab lets you to configure the control elements for the Terminal. Here you'll have access to configured buttons, to drive, live, different materials, as well as the sequence of actions. |

Once the hardware configuration is done, this tab presents data on the different materials, in real time. This allows to verify their proper functioning on the network, as well as viewing the different parameters of each. Some options are available here, including the individual connection, disconnections, activation or deactivation of each material. |
Server Activities >
To keep track of all transactions on the equipment, this window allows you to view, at a glance, the history file transaction. |
