Micro TRACE MODE 6 for WinCon 8000 is a special OEM-version of Micro TRACE MODE 6 SOFTLOGIC runtime for WinCon 8000 controller running under Windows CE.net RTOS.
The controller programming under Windows CE.net hard real time operation system is significantly simplified due to the intuitive GUI of this OS, combined with the intuitiveness of the TRACE MODE development system. 
The Micro TRACE MODE 6 is installed onto controller by simple copying from PC via Ethernet (or serial port) using Windows CE Explorer. There is also another way of transferring the files: one can use a controller Compact Flash memory card slot.
The minimum system cycle of Micro TRACE MODE 6 for WinCon 8000 under Windows CE is equal to 2 ms. This time span is however sufficient for calculation of 150 channels.
 The WinCon 8000 controller programming is done in a handy TRACE MODE 6 SCADA development system for Windows using any of the 5 IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages. The ready programs can be uploaded onto controller remotely, directly from the integrated TRACE MODE 6 development environment without interruption of controllers programming. The programs can be remotely launched, stopped and edited online without stopping the controller.
If the WinCon 8000 controller is connected to PC via Ethernet, one can use powerful TRACE MODE SPY feature for program debugging.
The WinCon 8000 controllers programming is done in a very easy way. All input/output cards and network connections are automated by the TRACE MODE autobuilding technology and done by simple drag-n-dropping. The controllers are connected to PC through the built-in I-NET (Ethernet) and M-LINK (RS) protocols.
While using WinCon 8000 with other SCADA software (non TRACE MODE 6), one can use the TRACE MODE OPC server (optional).
The unique feature of the Micro TRACE MODE 6 for Wincon 8000 consists in the high quality embedded HMI. The embedded HMI may be used in operator panels, connected directly to the VGA port of the controller.
Programming of the controller embedded HMI is done in a very easy way. The controller embedded HMI screens are created in a powerful and handy graphical editor of the TRACE MODE development system. The Micro TRACE MODE 6 supports 3D graphics, dynamic text, bar graphs, buttons, trends, etc. Most of the TRACE MODE library components are available for embedded HMI too.
Besides built-in input/output modules WinCon 8000 supports distributed I/O modules (DCS) such as I7000, I8000, ADAM 4000, ADAM-5000/485, Teconic, LAGOON, ROBO, NuDAM-6000 and RIO-2000 series. It also supports MODBUS RTU (master) and MODBUS TCP (master). The appropriate drivers are shipped with Micro TRACE MODE 6 free of charge.
TRACE MODE 6 is designed in a way to provide maximum reliability of the control systems. TRACE MODE 6 offers hot redundancy for practically all control system components, e.g.:
- for I/O cards, remote I/O modules, programmable logical controllers (PLC) with traditional (closed) architecture;
 for communications between I/O and the TRACE MODE node, between TRACE MODE nodes – controllers, operator stations, client stations (via net, RS-232/485);
- for controllers.
Redundancy features for the most components of the control system are provided automatically and no additional programming is required.
In the TRACE MODE IDE the redundant PLC nodes may be created utterly easy – with one click of the mouse.
The time span required for switching to the standby WinCon 8000 node is:
- from 2 ms while the DI_DO channels are used;
- from 1 s if the Ethernet is used.
For WinCon 8000 models with dual network adapters the Micro TRACE MODE 6 offers hot redundancy for network communications. The network redundancy in TRACE MODE 6 is also fully automated and requires no programming at all.
The time span required for detecting the network failure and for switching to the standby network in Micro TRACE MODE 6 for WinCon 8000 node is:
The Micro TRACE MODE 6 for WinCon 8000 software has flexible licensing policy, enabling significant price reduction for the end user.
License policy: Micro TRACE MODE 6 for WinCon-8000 is licensed for 1, 10, 100 or 1000 controllers with limited number of channels. The program is available in versions for 63, 127, 255, 511, 1,023, 2,047 and 4,095 channels.
