Genesis OPC Acquisition Data Matrix
Acqusition Data Matrix is a graphical presentation of the acquisition schedule used internally by Genesis 3.1 to handle the OPC data acquisition when OPC Groups have different acquisition rate.There are two methods to view the Data Acquisition Matrix via buttons of the Ribbon Category 'Data Acquisition'
- Direct Way
- Click on the Button 'Acquisition Data Matrix' of the Ribbon Category 'Data Acquisition'
- Click on the Button 'Acquisition Data Matrix' of the Ribbon Category 'Data Acquisition'
- Indirect Way
- Click on the Button 'Start Data Acquisition' of the Ribbon Category 'Data Acquisition'
- Click on the button 'View Acq. Matrix'
- Click on the Button 'Start Data Acquisition' of the Ribbon Category 'Data Acquisition'
- Simple Acquisition Matrix
Suppose a simple Genesis Project with three OPC Groups with different acquisition rate: 100 ms, 500 ms and 1 second
Genesis 3.1 computes the smallest acquisition rate to allow consistent acquisition and then optimize the OPC acquisition.
The green cells represent the OPC Groups for which data acquisition is triggered at every periodic acquisition request.
- Less Simple Acquisition Matrix
Suppose a less simple Genesis Project with four OPC Groups with different acquisition rate: 100 ms, 500 ms, 3 seconds and 1 second
Genesis 3.1 computes the smallest acquisition rate to allow consistent acquisition and then optimize the OPC acquisition.
The green cells represent the OPC Groups for which data acquisition is triggered at every periodic acquisition request.
The complete picture is a little bit harder to handle
If such event arises, Genesis 3.1 triggers a Message Box to warn for invalid OPC Server setup
