Introduction (Tags)

The Movicon.NExT I/O Data Server module is the communication and data management server which is essential for the platform's projects.  The Data Server manages communications with the field and with third party systems by defining and centralizing dynamic information through the use of Tags which define variables on the project's Tag List.

This diagram shows the structure of the system handling data defined using the Tag List while in realtime communication with the field.

The I/O Data Server module enables the platform to communicate with the field devices in real-time, using the included communication drivers or the connection technology to third party OPC UA servers.

All the gathered information is defined in the Server's Address Space, which defines the list of Tags that are visible to all the resources and modules of the entire Movicon.NExT platform.
