FUNCTION_BLOCK AutomationPortalConnector

Short description

Connects the controller to the HVAC Automation Portal. More info at www.hvac-automation.com. Enables the transfer of variables via the CODESYS symbol configuration. In the portal, these can then be recorded and evaluated. In addition, alarms can be forwarded, access to the CODESYS visu can be made, and access to the device directory can be made. For the powerIO IoT Gateway and PLC controller H1.M100, a VPN connection can be established directly via the portal.
