3. About the OPC Server FibroLaser III

The OPC Server FibroLaser III is based on OPC Data Access, known as 'DA', which provides
real-time data from FibroLaser III controllers to management stations with OPC client drivers
as MM8000, DesigoCCTM and CerberusTM DM.
The server communicates with OTS 30xx via the LON protocol over TCP-IP
Protocol has been designed to be compatible with the previous versions of the OTS public
code protocols.
The OPC Server reads and writes data to and from FibroLaser III controllers via Ethernet.
The Server has a graphical user interface (GUI) configuration environment with an "Explorer"
look and feel. The configuration environment allows the Server to be configured with
information such as controller IP addresses and available global variables so that the Server
can communicate with these systems on behalf of Clients.

Application Name : OPC-FibroLaserIII.exe

OPC NAME : "S4S.OPC-FibroLaser III" (Can be configured in xml file)

OPC DESCRIPTION : "OPC Server – FibroLaser III" (Can be configured in xml file)

OPC GUID : {4DA870F2-A36A-46FF-BD36-A21511B9FF80}

4. System Requirements
The OPC Server FibroLaser III application runs on any hardware which supports Windows
Server 2003/2008/2012, Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8 with DCOM, Visual C++
2010 Redistributable Packages and .NET Framework 4 Installed.
The system must have 10 Mb of free disk space to install the program and 1 Gb of free
memory is required to load and run the application. All systems information is stored in the
server’s disk. For configuration purpose a monitor connected to the computer is required.
The OPC server is a 32 bit application which runs on both 32/64 bit operating systems.

Hardware characteristics recommended

- CPU i5 high-end (for example INTEL Core i5 4690K) or i7 mid-range (for example
Intel Core i7-4770K)
- RAM : 8GB

Checks on the network

Since the Server communicates with the FibroLaser OTS 30XX over TCP-IP, an Ethernet
network must be in place. The network itself should be fully tested and be known to operate
before attaching the controllers and the Server computers. Contact your system
administrator for assistance or consult instructional documentation and manuals to setting
up the network. It is beyond the scope of this Users Manual to discuss networking topics in
any detail.
Once the network is in place and the Server computers and controllers are attached, check
connectivity using available network testing tools and programs such as ping command.

Note: When the OTS 30XX configuration is modified, a re-start of the LON Protocol is
carried out and a disconnection on communication is detected.

Zones

Image 18 Configuration - SUBSYSTEM Zone

This section allows to configure the zones for each fiber connected to the OTS30xx.
In the upper part of the section it’s possible to select the fibro channell using the left/right
arrow. Once selected the fibro channell proceed defining the associated zones.

The zones can be configured in two different ways:

Automatically: Zones are generated automatically by the system on the basis of the
following data provided by the Fibro Manager :

- Fiber length (mt) : is the length of the optic fiber cable defined by the Fibro Manager
in the section : Zone configuration – “effective fiber length” (see the right upper part
of the screen)
- Number of zones or Length of zones : These data comes always from the Fibro
Manager section “Generate Zones”

OPC Server FibroLaser III Installation and Configuration Manual V1.2 Pag .22
 Innovative Software Solutions and Engineering Services

All zones generated by automattically configuration have the same length, if there are zones
with different lengths from other, you must configure them manually.

Manually: This configuration allows to manually configure the length of all zones. In this
mode is possible have zones with different lengths. The steps are:

- Automatically generate zones according to their number;

- Export the configuration via "Export" button;

- Open the csv file generated and edit fields:

 ZONE_NAME: description of the zone;

 ZONE_START: start position of the zone, expressed in meters (eg. 100,00);
 ZONE_END: end position of the zone, expressed in meters (eg. 200,00).

Important: FIBRO_CHANNEL, ALARM_ID and FAULT_ID should not be changed

and no zone should be overlaid with other.

Image 19 Manual Configuration - CSV Zone

- Import the csv file via "Import" button.

Once the zone configuration for each fibro channel is complited, select the “Download”
button to make active the new configuration.
Selecting the button “Close” without carrying out the command “Download”, data is lost.

SUBSYSTEM*.TEMPERATURE_DATA
The temperature_data tags are created
only if is enabled the feature "Date

The number of measurement

points (expressed in meters) is
defined by OTS30xx and depends
on its resolution.

There will be many temperature_data

Current temperature in °C on the tags how many will be the

fibre position. measuring points, each tag will be
differentiated by its position in the
optical fiber.

The position is expressed in meters

[meter].

Example: ".Meter_100_5" is
relative to the temperature
measurement position in the
optical fibre to the 100,5 meter.
