Remarks:

The object Project is the most central VBA object, as it contains the single modules, as e.g. variables, drivers, ....

The single objects of Project can be found in the collection Projects of the object Application. This way is needed for external applications, that are written e.g. in VB or VC++ and access the COM interface of the control system.

In Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) the current project always is available via thisProject. The validity in ths case is restricted to the current project. If you need to access a project from within another project, then you have to get the appropriate project from the central collection Projects.

NetDataServer	Boolean	Standby as data server Only available, after a standby server has been selected: Active: The standby server is used as a data server, i.e. the standby server has the connection to the hardware and passes on data to the server. Inactive: The sever itself is used as a data server. Mainly for use with Windows CE the data server model was developped. The data server is a computer with direct communication to the process but no server tasks. In normal operation the data server sends all data to the server, which manages the data storage and the data distribution. In the case of a network or server breakdown the data server works on as a single station, and therefore guarantees proper operation of the process. As soon as the server connection is reestablished, the data are transferred. Field of usage: Local operation device, which has no high performance hardware (e.g. IPC or CE terminal). The complete data archiving and data distribution takes place on a server. In case of network problems proper local operation of the process continues. This is not the case in a classic client server network. Read more in the online manual
NetSB	ZT_COMPUTER	Standby Only available, after a server has been selected: This station becomes the server, if for any reason the defined server fails. ATTENTION: You have to care, that both servers have the same system time. The defined server overtakes the server tasks and provides data for the connected clients. The connected standby server works like a client but stores all the data redundantly. This means that while storing the data redundantly the standby server displays the data of the server (just as a client). When the server breaks down the standby server realizes that after the timeout and becomes the new server. All connected clients are informed, that the standby server now is the new active server and are reconnected to it. In order to avoid loss of data during the timeout the standby server works with an intermediate buffer. When switching this intermediate buffer is loaded into the process data, so that even between the breakdown of the server and the realisation of the breakdown no loss of data can occur. If the original server is started again the system automatically realizes that. The projected (original) server updates its data and again is the server. This guarantees, that server and standby server have the same data even for the time of the server breakdown. The standby server gives up its server tasks and again becomes the standby server. Read more in the online manual
NetServer	ZT_COMPUTER	Server Only available in network projects: Network projects need a station connected to the hardware. The clients connect to this station. Read more in the online manual
NetTimeout	Long	Timeout [s] Only available in network projects: In a network a watchdog checks the connection to the server. Watchdogs are sent to the server every third of the defined timeout. In the cycle of the timeout the system checks, if at least one of the three sent watchdogs got an answer of the server. If only one of the three watchdogs got a positive response from the server, the connection is thought to be working. The communication to the server is only checked via the watchdog functionality! ATTENTION: The network timeout has to be at least the half of the TCP timeout of the operating system. WAN networks or dial connections The main difference to traditional networks (LAN) is, that here no permanent connection (dedicated line) should be kept on-line. As the communication with the server is checked via a so-called watchdog, a permanently on-line connection would be established when using the default timeout. To avoid this the timeout is accordingly increased (e.g. timeout = 64.800 sec = 18 h; i.e. a watchdog is sent to the server every six hours). This would also mean, that a crash of the server would be recognized only after 18 hours (timeout). Exceptions Startup of the client: Here a fixed timeout of 30 seconds is used. "Picture switch" function (active request of data): Here the system checks, if a watchdog has been sent to the server within the last 30 seconds. If this did not occur, a watchdog is immediately sent to the server, and the system waits 40 seconds for a response. If a server crash is recognized, the network service of the control system automatically tries 1 reconnect every 30 seconds. This would lead to a permanently on-line connection in WAN-environment. With the following two entries in the zenOn6.ini this behaviour can be changed. [NETZ] NET_CONNECTWAIT_MSEC=30000 Here the given default time (30000 msec) can be increased, in which the network service tries a reconnect. Maximum: see timeout. NET_CONNECTCOUNT=0 Here the number of reconnect retries for every cycle can be defined. Default is 0 retries, i.e. 1 reconnect try. Read more in the online manual
NetTokenActive	Boolean	Authorization in network active Only available in network projects: This authorization guarantees, that only one station at the time can operate the process.

Read more in the online manual

NetTokenQuit	Long	Timeout for acknowledgement [s] Only available, if the authorization in the network is active: Within this time the station (client) having the authorization must contact the server. If this does not happen, the authorization is automatically released. ATTENTION: This value must be smaller than the timeout. Read more in the online manual
NetType	Long	Redundancy type Only available after a computer has been specified in the property Standby ! Standby Only available, after a server has been selected: This station becomes the server, if for any reason the defined server fails. ATTENTION: You have to care, that both servers have the same system time. The defined server overtakes the server tasks and provides data for the connected clients. The connected standby server works like a client but stores all the data redundantly. This means that while storing the data redundantly the standby server displays the data of the server (just as a client). When the server breaks down the standby server realizes that after the timeout and becomes the new server. All connected clients are informed, that the standby server now is the new active server and are reconnected to it. In order to avoid loss of data during the timeout the standby server works with an intermediate buffer. When switching this intermediate buffer is loaded into the process data, so that even between the breakdown of the server and the realisation of the breakdown no loss of data can occur. If the original server is started again the system automatically realizes that. The projected (original) server updates its data and again is the server. This guarantees, that server and standby server have the same data even for the time of the server breakdown. The standby server gives up its server tasks and again becomes the standby server. Read more in the online manual The control system supports two redundancy types: Software redundancy: The system consists of one PLC and two redundant control system computers. Both computers must have a connection to the PLC. The drivers are constantly updating data from the PLC on both computers. The bidirectional communication is managed by the computer that is the server. If the server crashes, the standby server takes over the bidirectional communication with the PLC. Hardware redundancy: The system consists of two redundant PLCs and two redundant control system computers. Each server communicates bidirectionally with one PLC. Both computers and both PLCs are synchronizing their data. If one component in the first system crashes, the second system takes over. More in the online help

NetDataServer

Boolean

Standby as data server

Only available, after a standby server has been selected:
Active: The standby server is used as a data server, i.e. the standby server has the connection to the hardware and passes on data to the server.
Inactive: The sever itself is used as a data server.

Mainly for use with Windows CE the data server model was developped. The data server is a computer with direct communication to the process but no server tasks. In normal operation the data server sends all data to the server, which manages the data storage and the data distribution. In the case of a network or server breakdown the data server works on as a single station, and therefore guarantees proper operation of the process. As soon as the server connection is reestablished, the data are transferred.
Field of usage: Local operation device, which has no high performance hardware (e.g. IPC or CE terminal). The complete data archiving and data distribution takes place on a server. In case of network problems proper local operation of the process continues. This is not the case in a classic client server network.

NetSB

ZT_COMPUTER

Standby

Only available, after a server has been selected:
This station becomes the server, if for any reason the defined server fails.

ATTENTION: You have to care, that both servers have the same system time.
The defined server overtakes the server tasks and provides data for the connected clients. The connected standby server works like a client but stores all the data redundantly. This means that while storing the data redundantly the standby server displays the data of the server (just as a client).
When the server breaks down the standby server realizes that after the timeout and becomes the new server. All connected clients are informed, that the standby server now is the new active server and are reconnected to it. In order to avoid loss of data during the timeout the standby server works with an intermediate buffer. When switching this intermediate buffer is loaded into the process data, so that even between the breakdown of the server and the realisation of the breakdown no loss of data can occur.
If the original server is started again the system automatically realizes that. The projected (original) server updates its data and again is the server. This guarantees, that server and standby server have the same data even for the time of the server breakdown.
The standby server gives up its server tasks and again becomes the standby server.

NetServer

ZT_COMPUTER

Server

Only available in network projects:
Network projects need a station connected to the hardware. The clients connect to this station.

Read more in the online manual

NetTimeout

Long

Timeout [s]

Only available in network projects:
In a network a watchdog checks the connection to the server. Watchdogs are sent to the server every third of the defined timeout. In the cycle of the timeout the system checks, if at least one of the three sent watchdogs got an answer of the server. If only one of the three watchdogs got a positive response from the server, the connection is thought to be working.
The communication to the server is only checked via the watchdog functionality!

ATTENTION: The network timeout has to be at least the half of the TCP timeout of the operating system.

WAN networks or dial connections
The main difference to traditional networks (LAN) is, that here no permanent connection (dedicated line) should be kept on-line.
As the communication with the server is checked via a so-called watchdog, a permanently on-line connection would be established when using the default timeout.
To avoid this the timeout is accordingly increased (e.g. timeout = 64.800 sec = 18 h; i.e. a watchdog is sent to the server every six hours). This would also mean, that a crash of the server would be recognized only after 18 hours (timeout).
Exceptions
Startup of the client: Here a fixed timeout of 30 seconds is used.
"Picture switch" function (active request of data): Here the system checks, if a watchdog has been sent to the server within the last 30 seconds. If this did not occur, a watchdog is immediately sent to the server, and the system waits 40 seconds for a response.
If a server crash is recognized, the network service of the control system automatically tries 1 reconnect every 30 seconds. This would lead to a permanently on-line connection in WAN-environment.
With the following two entries in the zenOn6.ini this behaviour can be changed.
[NETZ]
NET_CONNECTWAIT_MSEC=30000
Here the given default time (30000 msec) can be increased, in which the network service tries a reconnect.
Maximum: see timeout.
NET_CONNECTCOUNT=0
Here the number of reconnect retries for every cycle can be defined.
Default is 0 retries, i.e. 1 reconnect try.

Read more in the online manual

NetTokenQuit

Long

Timeout for acknowledgement [s]

Only available, if the authorization in the network is active:
Within this time the station (client) having the authorization must contact the server. If this does not happen, the authorization is automatically released.

ATTENTION: This value must be smaller than the timeout.

NetType

Long

Redundancy type

Only available after a computer has been specified in the property Standby !

The control system supports two redundancy types:

Software redundancy: The system consists of one PLC and two redundant control system computers. Both computers must have a connection to the PLC. The drivers are constantly updating data from the PLC on both computers. The bidirectional communication is managed by the computer that is the server. If the server crashes, the standby server takes over the bidirectional communication with the PLC.

Hardware redundancy: The system consists of two redundant PLCs and two redundant control system computers. Each server communicates bidirectionally with one PLC. Both computers and both PLCs are synchronizing their data. If one component in the first system crashes, the second system takes over.
