====== Amit ====== This page is the central starting point for connecting **AMiT controllers** to Mervis SCADA. AMiT PLCs can communicate with Mervis in two ways, depending on the age of your controller and firmware: * **AMiT WebSocket via Mervis CloudAccess** — the modern, recommended method for newer controllers and firmware. * **DB-Net/IP via AmitProxy** — the traditional tunnel-based method, still supported for older installations. If you are unsure which method applies to your controller, contact [[https://amitomation.cz/kontakt/technicka-podpora/|AMiT technical support]] or [[en:help:20-support|Mervis technical support]]. ===== Method 1: AMiT WebSocket via Mervis CloudAccess (Recommended) ===== Newer AMiT controllers offer native support for **Mervis CloudAccess**, using AMiT's own **WebSocket** protocol directly in the controller. This removes the need for a separate proxy tunnel — the PLC connects directly to the CloudAccess cloud service, and the Mervis SCADA project is generated from a WebSocket mapping file. - **Configure CloudAccess on the PLC.**\\ Set up the connection to the CloudAccess server in DetStudio. See [[en:mervis-proxy:cloudaccess#amit|Mervis CloudAccess - AMiT]] for certificate setup and configuration steps. Requires DetStudio version 3.2.12 or newer. - **Generate the mapping file.**\\ Use the helper application ''AmitWebSocketUtil.exe'' to generate an XLSX mapping file directly from the project uploaded to the PLC. - **Generate the Mervis SCADA project.**\\ Upload the mapping file to the Project Generator and set the correct parameters. For the full step-by-step procedure, download links, and example generator parameters, see: [[en:mervis-scada:70-generator:30-examples#amit_websocket_-_integration|Amit WebSocket - Integration]]. ===== Method 2: DB-Net/IP via AmitProxy (Legacy) ===== For older AMiT controllers, communication is handled through the **Mervis Proxy Service** using the DB-Net/IP protocol. This method requires configuring a ProxyID, password, and proxy server address on the controller, and using the AtouchProxy helper application for third-party tools (DetStudio, ViewDet) that don't support Mervis Proxy natively. For full configuration details — including server addresses, ports, ProxyID/password setup, application code examples, and AtouchProxy — see: [[en:mervis-proxy:db-net|Amit DB-Net/IP - AmitProxy]]. ===== Choosing a Method ===== ^ Method ^ Best for ^ Requires ^ | AMiT WebSocket + CloudAccess | Newer controllers, new installations | DetStudio 3.2.12+, CloudAccess configuration | | DB-Net/IP + AmitProxy | Older controllers, existing DB-Net installations | ProxyID/password, AtouchProxy (for legacy tools) | For a broader overview of Mervis Proxy vs. CloudAccess (not AMiT-specific), see: [[en:mervis-proxy:00-start|Proxy & CloudAccess]]. ===== Technical Support ===== * AMiT technical support: https://amitomation.cz/kontakt/technicka-podpora/ * Mervis technical support: [[en:help:20-support|Contact Mervis Support]]
