SixTRAK® IPm Open Controller

Industrial Automation

The SixTRAK IPm™ is the ultimate process controller with the power of open LINUX software. Its powerful communications and advanced programming capabilities make it the perfect solution for process control, SCADA or SCS applications.

 

Though it is built on the open LINUX operating system, no knowledge of LINUX is required in most applications. Get all the benefits of open LINUX without any extra effort. The SixTRAK IPm is 100% compatible with Sixnet's legacy SixTRAK Gateways. All existing ISaGRAF user programs will load and run in an IPm without any changes.

How Much Datalogged Information Can be Stored?
Each Sixlog file is allocated a fixed amount of memory. Each record typically contains a time stamp (4 bytes), analog values (2 bytes each), and discrete values (8 per byte). The size of the record is automatically computed and displayed for you by the Sixlog software. The overall storage time (until the oldest data in a full file is overwritten by new data) is computed as: Longest storage = (file size) x (capture interval) / (bytes per record)

Example:
  • 16 analog values plus a time stamp ( 32 + 4 = 36 bytes) are logged every 5 minutes into a 400K file.
  • Oldest data = 400,000 (approx) x 5 minutes / 36 bytes/record = 55,555 Minutes (38 days)
* SixTRAK IPms come with 512KB and 2MB datalogging options


Why SixTRAK IPm Instead of other Sixnet Controllers?

  • SixTRAK IPm offers more communication ports (RS232 and Ethernet) than are available on other Sixnet gateways and industrial RTUs.
  • The embedded LINUX operating system in the SixTRAK IPm offers greater programming flexibility and performance than the legacy VersaTRAK / Mini-VersaTRAK industrial RTUs.
