Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent

damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert

symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are

graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be

used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property

damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific

task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified

Description 3

3.1 OPC software application

An OPC server is a software application that acts as an API (Application Programming

Interface) or protocol converter. When connected to a device (e.g. a PLC, DCS or an RTU) or

a data source (e.g. a database or a user interface), the OPC server will transform the data into

a standard-based OPC format.

OPC-compliant applications (e.g. an HMI (Human Machine Interface), historical data

spreadsheet, or trending application) can connect to the OPC server and then use the server

to read device data. The protocol allows interconnection between field equipment such as

sensors, actuators and controllers.

OPC defines a common, high-performance interface that facilitates reuse of data via HMI,

SCADA controls, and custom applications.

3.2 Data transmission

The Wireless Communication Module transmits information using a wireless network (3G/

UMTS or GSM/GPRS). Manual or automatic network selection is possible.

Communication with users takes place via SMS, email or FTP.

The Wireless Communication Module has the following capabilities:

● sending and receiving SMS to and from predefined mobile phones

● sending measurement data (in csv file format) by email to the predefined email addresses

or customer specified FTP server

The measurement data collected from MAG 8000 is stored in the Wireless Communication

Module until it is fully transmitted. In case of a power or network failure the collected data will

remain in the Wireless Communication Module.
