How can I use SOE functionality in AC800F or AC900F?
We need to evolve an existing Freelance 2000 and add SOE functionality to the system. I must to use a controller of Freelance family to take advantage of the logical and graphical configuration compatibility. But I can not find SOE in Freelance 2013.
How can I use SOE functionality in AC800F or AC900F?
Can I use some SOE DI module by Profibus DP?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are several options based on requirements in Freelance 2013, and bytheway now in Freelance 2016 there is CAN module supports rack I/O so native SOE function should be possible to use.
Option1 :
Incase time resolution is not so critical and 5 ms resolution event recording suffice requirement. in such case AC 900F + direct S700 I/O will be solution. make sure timesychronised between controller and Freelance Operations(DigiVis).
Option2 :
Incase time resolution is critical and is strict 1ms then use third-party soe recorder for SOE signals and get soe signal with timestamp in Freelance system via modbus TCP and use it in programming for logic and in operation for alarm and events.
find associated app here with check video and manual will help, If you have any question on that get connect over outlook or find me on lync
Option3 : Not sure is feasible
as you are asking use some SOE DI module by profibus( may be from S800 I/O series), But question there how to bring timestamp of signal first captured at module over profibus into controller to use it in logic and display on operator station.
So incase you can find some way to get time stamp of SOE signal into Freelance system use MGEN block which allows signal to be captured with external timestamp...
Hope that helps...
