TransSECS Overview

Generating Host or Equipment applications from TransSECS is very simple. Start the TransSECS application and a sample “tool” will load with some predefined messages. The sample tool is an equipment application. Press the “build” button to generate the code for this application. Now start VIBLaces to build a simple Web-based graphical interface for your equipment application. You can receive Host messages and automatically respond to these messages (such as automatically responding to S1F1 “Are You There”), or you may add data to customize the messages to send (such as a reply to a report request). You can get this data from any accessible device - a PLC, a Windows OPC Server, a Database, and many other options!

The TransSECS developer package includes VIBLaces to build the generated SECS components into an application that will run on any Java enabled system. The application is deployed to ErgoVU for 24x7 reliable data monitoring, alarm handling, and database access.

As you generate code with TransSECS, it will even generate documentation so that you can build the manual rapidly for your end users. TransSECS is available as a complete solution (with hardware) or as a software toolkit.

TransSECS can be bundled with hardware for a complete solution (or purchased as software-only). More information can be found on the
TransSECS product bulletin.

ErgoTech's Java
TM SECS library has become the de-facto Java implementation of SECS. Mix this with ErgoTech's long experience in the factory automation market, represented by our Virtual Instrumentation BeansTM (VIBTM) product, and with TransSECS as a message editor and simulator - you have the fastest way to SECS-enable equipment with the benefit of Web-based user interfaces.
