Configuring a Hilscher Scanner
A Hilscher Scanner is logical functionality that runs within Geo SCADA Expert and scans for data on a Hilscher device.
The Hilscher driver provides several types of Hilscher scanner—you create and configure the type of scanner that is appropriate to the type of fieldbus used on your system. Choose from:
- Hilscher IO Image Scanner—Use to scan Hilscher cards on systems that use DeviceNet or PROFIBUS-DP fieldbuses. For more information, see Configure the Properties of an IO Image Scanner.
- Hilscher Profibus FMS Scanner—Use to scan FMS devices on systems that use PROFIBUS-FMS fieldbuses. For more information, see Configure the Properties of a Profibus FMS Scanner.
The Form for each type of Scanner has several tabs. For information on the fields on the Scanner tab, see the appropriate reference above.
There are no driver-specific properties on any of the other tabs—for information on these tabs, see Tabs That are Common to Many Configuration Forms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Simple Drivers.
