Simplified connection between JACE and Supervisor

EasyTunnel is a tool integrated into Niagara framework that allows connectivity between Niagara stations even in absence of a public and static IP address and without using external payment services (dynDNS / tzo) or APN, in case of mobile connectivity. EasyTunnel allows communication via fox protocol with a centralized server through a tunnel. It supports three types of connections: fox, http and a configurable service (normally used to manage the platform). Clients open the tunnel connection by contacting the server (which will have a static IP and the public “known”), and once the connection is established “permanent” between client and server, it is possible to communicate to and from the JACE in a bidirectional way, having only the address of the server, which will then be put in communication between the various peripheral units thanks to the open tunnels by the same.

Features

  • Simplifies and accelerates the connection configuration.
  • Allows a controlled connections management and individually activation of the desired service/services (fox, http and platform).

SoapClient is a software module integrated in Niagara Framework that allows you to perform queries, using SOAP protocol, to a third-party device equipped with WebServer and integrated with version 1.2 SOAP support. SoapClient allows to set points, alarms, histories and schedulers shared by a Soap server.
The module consists of a main component that can be added to the station; using this you can specify the WSDL content that describes the available SOAP services and the end-point to which sent requests. The component supports the selection of the SOAP service that you want to use, and the dynamic creation of the slots related to the input and output parameters of the SOAP service that are populated by the information when component execution occurs.

Features

  • Generic Soap Operation as a simple component available in the station.
  • Suport for SOAP 1.2 with basic authentication.
  • Decode and online or offline WSDL definition in order to manage the available operations.
  • Possibility to interact with the standard control points in Niagara Framework.
