result is the ability to support two or more eIO modules, with the immediate

advantage that analogue input and discrete input modules can now be

installed in a distributed location (near the contacts).

The most significant focus is however on output program level. With

the area concept, you can now configure, for authorized, more than one

instance of eDMSAPI. This is most useful in larger environments (for

authorized, 3 high-range iS-3090 switches covering 3 locations in an IMP

network), where you can now install one eDMSAPI per area (location).

Because communication to the central eKERNEL (one per site) is now on

sockets basis on the WAN, this dramatically reduces IMP network traffic,

because calls can be processed locally on each location.

As a result of this design, the area field is found in many other tables.

Peripherals (better known as devices) are now identified by site, area,

output program and device.
