Each DEM contains any number of channels. On the one hand, there are generic DEMs for all common communication technologies. On the other hand, the framework also offers the possibility to address specific device drivers. The configuration of the modules is done via an Excel sheet and also offers the possibility to easily integrate channel linearisations. Input and output can be selected for each channel. In this way, control and regulation tasks can also be covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generic DEMs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Generic DEMs are available for standardized protocols such as Modbus-TCP\/RTU, OPC UA\/DA, REST API, MQTT, etc..

This makes it easy to integrate existing measurement or control hardware. In combination with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ni.com\/de-ch\/shop\/data-acquisition.html\">NI's broad product range,<\/a> specific DEMs can be used to measure a wide range of physical quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ChannelAlarming\">Individual settings for each channel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For each channel, a wide range of settings can be made. Default value, minimum, maximum, multi-level alarming and individual linearization are just some of the options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\"Forced Values\" - An essential function for every start-up<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\nBy means of \"Forced Values\", individual measuring channels can be overwritten during runtime. This greatly simplifies commissioning and adjustments to your hardware. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible calculations at runtime<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\"Calculated channels\" are virtual measuring channels that enable continuous calculations. Here, reference can be made to stored constants or to measuring channels. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the storage format that suits you<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>SILANA saves your measurement data in the format of your choice. In addition to classic table-based formats such as CSV, other technologies are also available. The measurement data can also be stored in local SQLite databases, in external MySQL databases or in HDF5 format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supports Windows and Linux RT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In addition to a classic Windows computer, SILANA also supports the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ni.com\/de-ch\/shop\/compactrio.html\" target=\"_self\">Linux Real Time Systems from NI<\/a>.
