Q

What is the purpose of the plugin installed during the atvise software setup procedure?

A

When you install ativse from the product DVD the installation procedure offers you two setups.

The first setup is the ativse Builder tool which is a 1:1 copy of the original installation file coming from Certec www.ativse.com

The second setup is an extended plugin that is

  • licensing ativse Builder for using it in conjunction with Hilscher netSCADA devices
  • installing the symbolizer functions to allow interpretation of Siemens STEP 7 projects and their data contents
  • installing the process data editor that allows the user to enter symbols and data points in a matrix fromat
  • installing the basic setup function to scan for netSCADA devices on the LAN

Without the installing the plugin Hilscher devices can't get operative.
