Lenze License Manager - FAST licensing as a service in the controller
Function extension:
A new FAST Framework service has been created to improve the topic of licensing in the controller.
This new Lenze Licence Manager service manages the Lenze application currency 'Application-Credit (AC)'.
Contained in which products? Cabinet Controller c520 from V1.9
Cabinet Controller c550 from V1.9
Improving AC usage and more AC users: In addition to using Application Credit for FAST Toolbox functions such as Motion Control, Coordinated Motion and Technology Modules, other additional functions can now be used:
Enable additional EASY UI client connections to connect more than the two clients available in the standard. For example, larger modularized machines or mobile display devices can be implemented.
Further OPC UA functions can be used.
The Lenze Licence Manager for the FAST Toolbox functions brings great added value:
From now on, licences for the toolbox functions (FAST function block, technology modules) will only be charged per application credit if the blocks are actually used.
This makes it even easier to implement modular machines.
