LR AGENT
Application software
Intelligent, universal data inter-face for controllers, sensors, machines, plants and systems
Bidirectional data exchange
Flexible data transfer independentof the machine type and machinecontrol system
Communication interfaces andtasks can be configured by the user
Features• The connection of machines, plant and systems is made via the LR AGENT.• Configuring instead of programming.• Quick and easy configuration of the interface software with predefined machine and database templates.
• Required data is collected from data sources, processed and transferred via data gateway.
Customer benefits• LR AGENT is a configurable, bidirectionally communicating interface software.• LR AGENT records and handles process information from the plant or machine and transmits it to other systems (e.g. databases, ERP systems, MES); furthermore, LR AGENT sends required information back to the plant.

The LR AGENT understands the diversity of protocols and enables bidirectional n-to-m networking of the components.Diagnostic data of the sensor is transmitted to the HANA database and to SAP tools for analysis – extended function LR AGENT CP.The image processing sensor sends images to an MES system for verification of the product quality.Consumption data is sent to SAP for evaluation and to the PLC for controlling. The PLC transmits new parameters to the sensor. Control data and parameters are sent to a control desk (MES).
