Comparison to HERMA 400

Web interface

 

  • Man-machine interface
  • Remote access via web browser to connect e.g. external HMI, tablet, notebook, etc.
  • 1:1 visualization of the display
  • Service interface for firmware updates and device backups
  • No internet interface
  • No real-time capable communication
  • HERMA 500 IO / IE
  • Web-enabled device with web browser installed
  • Physical connection for connection to end device
  • Integration by user
  • See instructions HERMA

 

  • IP addresses must be in the same address range
  • Know- how and authorization for Nezwerk integration necessary

 

  • HERMA 400 via RS232 to PC with HERMA 400config installed - HERMA 400 via Bluetooth to terminal device with HERMA App installed

Modbus TCP

 

  • Machine-to-machine interface (M2M)
  • Parameterization
  • Standardized interface for connection to open controllers
  • Communication between different systems via uniform Modbus TCP protocol
  • No real-time capable communication
  • HERMA 500 IO / IE with function enabling for Modbus TCP
  • Device with installed Modbus TCP client
  • Physical connection for connection with terminal device
  • Integration, Project planning and control by customer
  • HERMA introduces Modbus TCP as protocol
  • Customer programs the data exchange itself
  • Know how for interpretation and control of parameters and messages of HERMA 500
  • HERMA 400 PPS with IO interface via RS485 to gateway via Modbus TCP/IP

OPC UA

 

  • Machine-to-machine interface (M2M)
  • All parameters and messages of the HERMA 500 are visible
  • Monitoring of status information and operating parameters
  • Parameterizing
  • Control of functions, that do not have to be performed in real time
  • Standardized interface for connection to open controls (e. g. B. IPC, ERP system, CODESYS, etc. )
  • Communication between different systems via uniform OPC UA protocol
  • No real-time capable communication
  • HERMA 500 IO / IE with function enabling for OPC UA- Server
  • Control that supports OPC UA
  • Control with installed OPC UA client
  • Physical connection for connection with OPC UA client
  • Integration, Project planning and control by customer in OPC-UA client
  • No HERMA driver necessary
  • Know-how for interpretation and control of parameters and messages of HERMA 500
  • HERMA 400 PPS with IO interface via RS485 to gateway via Ethernet TCP/IP to OPC-UA server and/ or client of customer

Ethernet/IP
  • Machine-to-machine interface (M2M)
  • All parameters and messages of the HERMA 500 are visible
  • Monitoring of status information and operating parameters
  • Complete control via customer PLC
  • Closed interface with PLC-specific software and corresponding protocols (e.g. PROFINET for Siemens PLC)
  • Digital I/Os are largely not required -> reduced cabling effort
  • Realtime-capable communication
  • HERMA 500 IE with integrated IE- Board for corresponding PLC
  • protected HERMA driver for PLC
  • IE-capable PLC
  • Physical connection for connection with PLC
  • Initialization, Integration, project planning and control by customer in PLC project planning program
  • HERMA sample project can be used as a basis and simplifies integration
  • know- how for interpretation and control of parameters and messages of HERMA 500
  • HERMA driver is PLC specific and must be available
  • HERMA 400 PPS via RS485 to gateway via fieldbus to customer PLC
