DEFINITIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF TERMS
The following table shows the definitions and descriptions of the terms used in this manual.
(To the next page)
Ter m Description
Tag for WonderwareHistorian Name for data unit in the database WonderwareHistorian.
MES
Abbreviation for Manufacturing Execution System
The system that controls and monitors the plant status in real time to optimize production activities
This enables speed-up of the responses to production plans and status changes and efficient production
operation, optimizing the production activities.
ODBC Abbreviation for Open Database Connectivity
Standard specifications for software to access databases
SNTP Abbreviation for Simple Network Time Protocol
Protocol for synchronizing the time of computers via a TCP/IP network
SNTP server computer Computer that provides time information to the GOT
This can be shared with a server computer.
SQL Abbreviation for Structured Query Language
Data manipulation language and used for relational database operations
UTF-8 Method for converting character strings defined in Unicode into byte strings (Number strings)
XML Abbreviation for eXtensible Markup Language
Markup language for describing documentation, data meanings, and structures
Account Represents the right to use a GOT or a server computer, or an ID necessary for its use.
Action
The unit for processing defined in the job. The unit for processing includes [Communication action] and
[Transmit resource action] for communicating with a database, and [Operation action] for operating tag
component values.
[Communication action] is a processing unit for sending one SQL text (Select, Update, Insert,
MultiSelect).
[Transmit resource action] is the processing unit for sending each SQL text (Insert) for records in one
resource data collected in the GOT.
Up to 20 dyadic operations can be defined for [Operation action].
Application server computer One of the server computers, which communicates by the MES interface function to run programs
A database computer can be shared as an application server computer.
COMMIT Processing that makes a permanent change to databases
Server service
Generic term for the services that a server computer to which the DB Connection Service is installed can
offer.
There are database server service and application server service.
Database server service is a service for accessing a database.
Application server service is a service for linking with a program.
Server computer Generic term for database server computers and application server computers
This computer can be shared as an SNTP server computer.
Job A set of processings executed by a preset trigger
Configuration computer
A personal computer that runs GT Designer3
This is used to install the option OS into a GOT, to configure the Communication Settings, screens and
MES interface function settings, and to download projects to the GOT.
This can be shared as a server computer.

Ter m Description
Time zone
Standard time zone for each region of the world
Each nation uses the time difference (within 12 hours) from the time at the Greenwich Observatory in
the United Kingdom (GMT) as the standard time. The region using the same time difference is called a
time zone.
The standard time for Japan is 9 hours ahead of the GMT.
Some nations adopt daylight-saving time in summer season in which clocks are set one hour ahead of
the standard time.
Tag component (Component)
Generic term for components (Device data) making up a device tag (Tag)
A set of data that contains the information on the GOT's internal devices, and the data type and devices
required for access to the gateway devices
Data source
Connection information necessary for accessing data using ODBC
With Windows, a data source name is assigned to connection information for manegement. The
database can be accessed via ODBC by specifying the data source name in the MES interface function.
Database (DB)
or
Relational
database (RDB)
Data management method that follows relational data model logic
One data is expressed as a collection of multiple items (Fields) and the data collection is expressed as a
table.
Data can be easily merged and selected using key data.
Database computer One of the server computers, on which the database communicating with the GOT is run when the MES
interface function is used.
Table Data management format managed with relational databases
It is a two-dimensional table format composed of rows and columns.
Device Variety of memory data that each controller internally contains.
There are devices handled in units of bits and those handled in units of words.
Device tag (Tag) Data table that contains a set of information (Components) required to access the device data in the GOT
Transaction
Unit that multiple databases related to each other can be correctly processed all at once.
Processing managed as transaction is either correctly completed or canceled with the rollback. Each
database is processed by the action, and each transaction is processed by the job with the MES interface
function.
Trigger conditions Startup conditions for job operation
Trigger buffering
When too many trigger conditions (data transmission conditions) are met simultaneously, this function
allows the system to buffer the data and the time that trigger conditions are met to the user area. The
action (operation and transmission of the data) for the buffered data is executed later.
Even when the data transmission triggers are activated frequently, no triggers are missed so that all the
jobs are executed.
DB buffering This function allows the system to temporarily store SQL texts that failed to be sent due to a
communication error in a CF card and to resend the texts upon recovery.
Handshake A constant exchange of signals between the sending and receiving ends to achieve high reliability
Field Corresponds to a column in a relational database and indicates a type of data (Record attribute).
Variable (Temporary variable) Variable that can be used in the same job when temporarily storing values selected from a database or
when writing operation values to a database or tag components.
Record Corresponds to a row in a relational database. One row (Record) stores the values of multiple columns
(Fields).
Rollback Processing for canceling changes to a database
