network.
● An additional license is required.
Virtual AEM
● The Virtual AEM is fully configurable from the HMI. Configuration is the same as for
hardware AEM.
● Even though hardware is not connected to the HMI port, the settings for the
HMI/Modem are used to select Alarm Printing/Report Printing, BLN Descriptor, and
BLN NAME.
– The Alarm Printing and Report Printing settings have no effect on AEM
operations (Virtual or hardware).
– Baud rate settings have no effect on the data transmission.
