DMS database
The drivers and user interface programs write the values into the DMS.
Up to 4 million data records can be managed in one database. This is normally sufficient for more than 10,000 physical inputs and outputs of PLC controllers.
In the DMS there are control functions which are automatically executed when a value is changed (from basic arithmetic operations to bit operations and trigonometric functions). Time-controlled functions such as delay are also supported. Debug functions are available.
The DMS database can also be set up with several instances. The largest Swiss hospital has connected a total of 28 DMS instances. The operation is done via a single user interface.
The database can also be accessed via web services (JSON/REST).
PDBS-database
This database stores historical data (e.g. temperature history) and alarm and log data. The data is managed on the disk and is available again after a restart.
Depending on the configuration, up to 30,000 trend curves per PDBS can be processed. The PDBS can also run on different instances, analogous to the DMS, so that several 100,000 trend curves can be recorded simultaneously without any problems.
Reorganisation and debugging functions are available. The historical data is backed up once a day (can also be a network drive).
The database can also be accessed via web services (JSON/REST).
