MULCOM is a multiple protocol communication interface that connects the ProSafe-PLC and/or ProSafe-SLS safety system and/or any Modbus slave station to a CENTUM CS3000 with V-net. MULCOM also supports interfacing to OPC enabled DCS and SCADA systems through the use of the OPC DA and A&E servers.
-
Direct CENTUM CS3000 V-net interface for data exchange (boolean and analog) and event reporting.
-
OPC Data Acces (DA) server for data exchange (boolean and analog).
-
OPC Alarm and Event (A&E) server for event reporting.
-
Modbus slave interface for MULCOM configuration and for data and event exchange with the COM-SET (used as MULCOM System Engineering Tool). COM-SET and MULCOM also support the Modbus/TCP interface.
-
Modbus master interface with external equipment (foreign PLC, etc.).
-
Integrated sequence of events recorder, tracking events in the safety system with millisecond resolution, depending on the used data acquisition area.
-
Handling of control signals from CENTUM CS3000 to the Safety Control Station, e.g. resets, start-up and maintenance overrides, etc.
-
Execution of non-safety related logic.
