OpenCLIENT Terminals & Nodes are industrially hardened platforms used for terminal server network applications. OpenCLIENT terminals are designed to support ACP's ThinManager server software. Several OpenCLIENT models are available based on your screen size and resolution requirements.

FEATURES
|
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Because all programs are centrally stored in the server, you can simply upgrade to the latest version of software, make any changes needed to the screens (one time, on the server) and every client in the factory is running the latest code with the updated screens.
The OpenCLIENT is a solid, rugged piece of equipment, with no moving parts of any kind, greatly increasing its MTBF. If the device is accidentally destroyed however, the program continues to run on the server and the application data is unaffected. To replace a damaged unit, the operator plugs in a replacement OpenCLIENT and turns it on. Once the client boots, it displays the same screen as the previous client.
OpenCLIENTs can be powered down and back up at any time without the risk of data loss or damage to the disk directory
structure.

Enhanced Security
If an operator powers down a traditional PC while it is running there is a good chance that it will go through a disk checking procedure at startup. At that time it can be halted or restarted to gain control. A malicious operator could insert a boot disk and restart the PC to add his own programs, or worse enter setup mode during the power-up sequence. The OpenCLIENT avoids both of these weaknesses. It has no disk drives and does not go through the traditional PC power-up sequence.

|
Simplified Fault Tolerance
If a plant using individual Industrial PCs is really concerned with redundancy or fault tolerance, they must invest money to add special features to every PC in their plant. With a thin client system the IT department simply makes the server redundant and all clients linked to that server become redundant as well.

ThinClient Managememt Software
ThinManager™ software is as easy to read as it is to use. Administrators can simply glance at the management screen and see which terminals are online. They can create a new terminal, or replace a damaged terminal. With ThinManager's "Default" and "AutoCreate" features, any terminal that has not been booted from that server before can be automatically created and logged in using the parameters of the Default terminal. Clients can therefore be replaced and added directly from the floor without visiting the server. Clients at different locations frequently have different functions, requiring different configurations. If an OpenCLIENT must be reconfigured, the system administrator can restart it from the management interface. Since the client's software is running on the server, this will not affect the operation of any applications that are being displayed on the client.
OpenCLIENT terminals running the same
application may have similar characteristics. In this case, terminals can be grouped together to provide a visually useful method of checking on the status of all of the clients in that group. Terminals added to the group will inherit all of the
group's settings. Grouping terminals also makes it easy to apply configuration changes to every member of the group.

Special Features for Industrial Applications
OpenCLIENT™ workstations also support industry specific protocols including DeviceNet, Profibus and high-speed serial ports. The ThinManager software will detect the OpenCLIENT's model number and build a basic set of modules to support its features. Settings are saved in a file on the server so wherever these OpenCLIENT terminals are installed they will always receive the correct software during boot up.
