System configuration example

Construct flexible and optimal systems to meet a variety of requirements

Flexible system construction from small- to -large scale is enabled by compatibility with standalone configurations, client server configurations, and centralized configurations. This flexibility makes it possible to introduce MICREX-VieW FOCUS at an optimal scale for the plant. It facilitates systems update and expansion while making effective use of existing assets.

Various remote monitoring features（Note 1）

Mobile access
Monitoring and control can be performed with tablet devices.
Remote access
Allows remote access from a variety of lines, including public lines, IP-VPN lines, and LTE lines. Enables easy construction of remote monitoring and operation systems.

Linkage with various packages

Various options are available, such as a MES manufacturing solution system, equipment maintenance management system, performance data collection and accumulation system, and batch system. By linking with FOCUS, it covers a wide range of ERP/MES areas. It can also link with other company systems.

HMI configuration types

Standalone (small-scale)

Server functions and client functions are available with one HMI station.

Standalone parallel redundancy(small-to-medium scale)

Plant operation can be continued even in the event of a hardware failure by installing two to six（Note 2） HMI stations in parallel.

Server/client configuration (medium-scale)（Note 1）

Up to 20 clients can be added by sharing the server (redundancy also possible) and client functions.

Supervisory configuration (large-scale)（Note 1）

FOCUS systems for each of the lines can be connected over an information LAN and overall monitoring be performed at the supervising HMI station.

Controllers

In addition to special-purpose controllers from previous and latest series products, new and legacy-type programmable logic controllers (PLC) are also supported.

Special-purpose controllers:

XCS-3000, XCS-3000R（Note 1）,
XCS-3000 Type E, ACS-2000（Note 1）,
ACS-250（Note 1）, ICS-2000/A（Note 1）

PLC

MICREX-SX, MICREX-JUPITER（Note 1）, MICREX-F（Note 1）

I/O and communication buses

It allows high-speed control through use of a high-speed 100 Mbps E-SX bus for its I/O network. High-reliability I/O is very reliable and maintainable, allowing I/O module pair redundancy and node redundancy. Communication bus supports various types of communication

Note 1:This feature will be also available on MICREX-VieW FOCUS Evolution in future.
Note 2:MICREX-VieW FOCUS Evolution maximum 8 units
