SES S.A. CMCS

The SES S.A. CMCS connector can be used to monitor the inputs of the CMCS system.

About

The CMCS system is based on a PLC system from Rockwell. The system has several inputs and outputs. Its own software monitors these inputs and controls the outputs that generate alarm notifications.

The SES S.A. CMCS connector monitors the inputs on this PLC through the Factorytalk Gateway software, which is a gateway between Ethernet/IP on the PLC side and the connector on the DataMiner side.
