1.3 How the Data Management System Operates

This section describes how the data management system using 'Pro-Server EX' operates.

1.3.1 Devices to be Used

The data management system using Pro-Server EX needs the following devices.
You must prepare an appropriate system configuration as follows before actual use.

"2 Preparation"
*The following shows an example of the system. You can use other devices depending on the working
environments.

PC

Pro-Server EX Reference Manual 1-17

How the Data Management System Operates

 PC
Used to read/write the data of display units and Device/PLCs via a network (Ethernet) after 'Pro-Server EX' and
'Pro-Studio EX' are installed therein.

 LAN Hub
Used to connect all the devices together via Ethernet.

 Display Unit
A combination of operation panels and display units that have been provided separately for machines and
equipment.
The display unit has features of displaying characters information, graphics information, etc. and entering data
from touch keys.

 Device/PLC
Used to capture data and perform control. The Device/PLC includes a PLC, thermostat, inverter, etc. The Device/
PLC performs control based on the data from the input devices and outputs the result to the display units.

 Input Device
An externally connected device such as a sensor and a switch that performs measurement, counting, etc. The data
is captured via the Device/PLC.

How the Data Management System Operates

1.3.2 Software to be Used

The data management system using 'Pro-Server EX' includes following software. This section describes the
overview and features of the software.

 'Pro-Studio EX'
System designing software to be used when developing a data management system.
'Pro-Studio EX' allows various settings such as those of information about the devices being connected to the
network and conditions for receiving/sending data and then creating a network project file containing those
settings.
After the created network project file is transferred to the display units, the data management system can operate
effectively according to the settings in the network project file.

 'Pro-Server EX'
A data relay driver for operating data management system.
'Pro-Server EX' allows data communication between the PC and the display units in accordance with the content
of the network project file created using Pro-Studio EX, and to read/write of the collected data to the application
software of the PC and the devices.

Network Project File

The data management system using 'Pro-Server EX' creates a file in the display unit’s screen data (screen
project file), which contains information about the devices being connected and features to be used. This file
is called "Network project file", and is affixed with an extension of ".npx". The same network project file is
basically used for all the devices being connected via a network, and the data is processed based on the
settings.

Screen Project File

Created using screen editing software such as GP-Pro EX or GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows, a screen project file
is a collection of information that includes screen data, display unit, and Device/PLCs, as well as
configuration of fonts and features. To run the data management system, first you need to transfer the screen
project file to the display unit.

 '2-Way Driver'
Built-in software in a display unit, which serves as an interactive communication driver to translate
communication protocols of various Device/PLCs and to perform communication between the PC and the
Device/PLCs via the display units.
The 2-way driver acts according to the content of the network project file transferred from the PC.

• The GP77R Series, GP2501 Series, and GP2601 Series have no built-in '2-way driver'.
Be sure to download a '2-way driver' from 'GP-Pro PB III'.
For help with downloading, refer to the 'GP-Pro PB III Operation Manual'.

Depending on the ACTION to be executed, an appropriate feature is used.

 DDE(Dynamic Data Exchange)

A system to support exchange of data between two applications running simultaneously on Windows.
For example, in the case when reading the data of the Device/PLCs using 'Excel', 'Excel' requests data and 'Pro-
Server EX' sends the data. That is how the data is automatically exchanged.
Application software such as 'Pro-Server EX', 'Excel' and 'Access' has this DDE function preinstalled, making it
possible to read/write data without any special settings.

 API(Application Programming Interface)

A series of functions used for relaying 'Pro-Server EX' and application programs. Using API can exchange data
via user application programs created in VB ('Visual Basic'), VC ('Visual C++'), VB .NET, or C# format.
Access of an application program to the 'Pro-Server EX' API used for exchanging data enables read/write of the
data of the Device/PLCs.

 ACTION
A system preinstalled in 'Pro-Server EX' to exchange data.
The ACTION includes data exchange with an application program, access to a transmission server when sending
e-mails.

The following shows how the DDE function runs.

1.4 Necessary Operation

This chapter describes necessary operation for executing data management using 'Pro-Server EX' and the flow of
the procedures.
Refer to each chapter in this manual for more details.

• The following procedures assume the screen project file is already transferred to the display
unit and that the connection between the display unit and Device/PLC is complete. Incomplete
connection or settings may result in failure to read/write the data using the PC. Be sure to
complete the correct connection and settings by referring to the user documentation for both the
display unit and the screen creation software ('GP-Pro EX' or 'GP-PRO/PB III for Windows').
