Data Engine


Display computer with data engine graphics as HMI.

Data Engine

APPLICATION SIGNAL ROUTING

Data Engine is a key module for achieving an open and scalable architecture. It acts as a signal manager and gateway and efficiently handles the routing of communication inside the system and makes all machine signals available to the different modules.

Data Engine acts as a signal manager and gateway that efficiently handles the routing of communication inside the system.

The module allows for seamless integration and communication between different software application modules within the Linx platform. For example, a signal in the control logic module (like CODESYS) is directly accessible in a Graphical User Interface created by Qt.

The Data Engine Configurator seamlessly integrates in the toolchain and streamlines the process of integrating and managing signals within your application. The tool features a no-coding experience for creating, managing and debugging signals in the system, making it easier to develop and maintain complex systems.

SPECIFICATION
Signal management It integrates machine signals available through Ethernet, CAN, and other buses, as well as internal signals within the HMI system
Tight toolchain integration Rendering of code for Qt application integration
Open API For adding custom software, proprietary software, or integrating legacy applications
Debugging The module provides an application for debugging at the signal level
Signal management     Easy control and configurations of signals within the system using the filed bus visual manager tool within Qt
Robust     Heartbeat and control of who can render and/or receive signals
