The CONPROSYS comes with the controller and host server that are required in order to construct an M2M/IoT solution. The I/O of a variety of sensors is measured and controlled by the controller. The data can be stored on the host server. The CONTEC cloud service can be offered by the host server. It can also provide the software information that is required so that customers can construct their own cloud services. The host server can also flexibly link with the HMI software that has been designed with the purpose of performing measurement and control in real time. HMI software is also provided by CONTEC.

• It is a memory-access-type communication protocol.• It is widely used in SCADA systems and other aspects of the FA industry.• It is an extremely simple protocol and its specifications are public.
Image of communication
In Modbus communication, the master issues a variety of commands, and the slave returns responses to these commands. The CONPROSYS acts as the slave and returns its acquired information, the results of calculations, and other similar responses to the requests for data from the master.

Examples of systems constructed using the CONPROSYS -example of providing only the controller-
Usage as a multiplexer
The CONPROSYS controller is used as the signal switcher (multiplexer) in the demand (electric power demand) control system of public storage battery systems. The controller handles two different types of communication. The system consists of measurement request communication and demand control communication by communicating with the electricity storage system while maintaining synchronization.
The demand control device (EMS) monitors the state of the electric power and the state of the storage batteries and discharges electricity to stabilize the electricity consumption.

3.1. CONPROSYS Setup Procedure
Use actual devices to check the CONPROSYS settings and operations. Use a web browser to set and view the CONPROSYS.

3.2. Preparations before Setup
LAN cable connection
Use a LAN cable to connect the setup terminal and the controller, and then change the IP address to enable the network connection.
Use a web browser to set and view the controller.Before you configure the settings, you have to prepare a network connection.
• Network connection with the CONPROSYS• PC network settings
Preparations before setup
IP address: 10. 1. 1.101Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
IP address: 10. 1. 1.200Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Set these to the same numbers.
Set these to different numbers.

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
In order to perform communication over the network, you have to set the IP address of the setup terminal.When the controller is shipped from the factory, this is set to "10.1.1.101," so set it to "10.1.1.200."If you match the parts of the IP addresses masked by the subnet mask to the same numbers, you will be able to perform network communication.
With the initial settings...
* The method to use in changing the IP address is shown on a later page.

Scripting overviewYou can arrange items into a flowchart on the Task Display screen in order to perform condition judgment and control.
You can create up to 10 tasks. There are 2 types of tasks: main tasks and sub tasks.
Each task consists of 96 panels (8 x 12). Arrange items in these panels.
• There are 10 tasks from Task00 to Task09.• Each task is run independently.Main task
• These tasks are run when called from a main task.• The main task will not perform the subsequent processing
until the sub task finishes.• You can create up to 10 sub tasks from Sub0 to Sub9.
Sub task
Each task is run starting from the screen's upper-left panel. (Indicated with the star in the figure on the left.)
Items have a mark, which indicates the next item to run. When the processing of a positioned item is finished, the task proceeds in the direction of the mark, and the next item is processed.
Some items have multiple marks.These items are used to fork the processing of the task according to conditions.

Numeric values
Character strings
TAGs are like boxes that save numeric values and characters.In scripting, numeric values and characters are saved to, read from, and written to TAGs.
The following 4 types of TAGs are available. 100 of each type of TAG (from 00 to 99) are available.

LTAGs and LSTAGs are unique to each task, so LTAG00 of Task00 and LTAG00 of Task01 are different. ("L" means "local.")
TAGs and STAGs are shared between all tasks. Changing these values in Task00 will have an effect on all other tasks.
Only TAG values can be referenced from the monitoring screen.If data needs to be displayed, write it into a TAG.

We want to add items after the point where the switch is set to ON, so move the Return item that is at the destination of the condition judgment.
Use Move to move the Return item down by two panels.
Position an FSet item at the forking destination for when the switch is ON.Set LTAG99 to 1.
In order to perform digital output, it is necessary to write "1" for Device ID: 0, Channel: 0, and Bit: 0. However, because you cannot specify the numeric values directly, you must first set the TAG to "1."
Write the TAG's value, and then set the digital output to ON.Add a Set item, and then write LTAG99, which you previously set to "1."
Set the properties as shown in the figure on the left.
Now, when you set the switch to ON, the digital output will also be set to ON.However, with the flowchart as it is, the digital output will not be set to OFF, so next let us add the control for doing so.
