Learn how to quickly and simply install a control of the MSX-Box with a Simatic® S7 via Ethernet.
In this case we will give you a special explanation how a S7 controls the 16 digital inputs and outputs of the MSX-Box. The digital I/O come from the PCI board APCI-1500 by ADDI-DATA which is mounted on the PCI backplane of the MSX-Box.

Several MSX-Boxes can be synchronised with the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service in order to coordinate the distributed MSR tasks as regards time.

The new Live DVD with development tools for the MSX-Box is now available for free!
With the MSX-Box Live DVD, you can develop measurement and control applications easily under Linux, even if you do not use the MSX-Box. The MSX-Box Live DVD is based on the Debian distribution and the efficient development environment Eclipse with GNU C compiler. We have added new programs and functionalities to the numerous development tools.
Firstly, the free software package Scilab® has been integrated for the direct processing and the convenient graphical display of measured values. Scilab® is a Matrix-based scientific software package resembling MATLAB® and Xmath®. Therefore you can dispense with expensive software packages and high licence costs.
Then we have implemented the drivers and samples of the most current ADDI-DATA boards in order to allow you to use the developments tools of the MSX-Box Live-DVD to program your applications easily under Linux.
