Communication with the Saphir regulator by the Siemens company

The
Saphir programmable universal regulators by the
Siemens company support multiple types of communication, depending on the regulator type (for example
ACX32, ACX34, ACX36, ACC88) and possibly on the types of add on cards.
Communication via the OPC interface
The
ACX52.22 add on card has the Ethernet interface with implemented OPC interface. Then the PROMOTIC application will communicate as a client by the
OPC interface.
The usage of the PmaOpcDaClient object requires purchase of the "PmOPC" licence. With the freeware version PmFree, or when developing the application (with development environment for tersting purposes), this component is always functional.
Additional communication options
The
Saphir regulators and add on cards enable additional communication options For example:
- the KNX protocol (e.g. the ACX51.21 add on card).
- the
LON protocol (e.g. the
ACX51.25 add on card).
- the
BACnet protocol (e.g. the
ACX52.22 add on card).
