Our platform provides versatile deployment choices tailored to your operational requirements. Whether you require a straightforward standalone configuration with both server and client components on a single machine or a sophisticated distributed system optimized for slower networks, our platform seamlessly adjusts.

Our platform is adept at managing client and server systems, whether they are networked computers or accessed remotely via WAN or Cloud. Additionally, it facilitates distributed control systems across various plants for real-time monitoring and management. For mission-critical applications, you have the option to deploy redundant servers with automatic failover and data synchronization, ensuring continuous operation.

Stand-Alone System

In a Stand-

alone

Alone System,

the server-side components (Data acquisition, Alarms, and data logging) and the client side components (displays and client-side scripts) run on the same computer. The computer can be a Windows desktop, Panel PC, industrial PC, Linux device, or an embedded system. The stand-alone system can act as a data publisher for remote FactoryStudio servers that act as Edge data collectors

all components run on one machine, like a Windows desktop or industrial PC, serving as both server and client. It can also act as an Edge data collector for remote platforms.

useful in plants that have devices with serial ports or limited communication capability. In these plants, communication on slow or low bandwidth networks is optimized and better global performance is achieved by adding I/O servers that interact with the devices.

ideal for plants with devices on slow or limited networks, optimized with I/O servers for better performance.

Client and Server System

In a Client and Server System,

a FactoryStudio server runs the server side modules (alarm, historian, data acquisition). Operator client stations are executed in other network computers or in remote computers connected by a

the platform's server handles server-side modules such as alarms, historians, and data acquisition.

Operator client stations run on other networked or remote computers connected via WAN or Cloud interface.

Distributed Control System

A In a Distributed Control System can have , multiple servers configured in a distributed architecture in are set up across different plants and for different projects. This configuration allows specific clients to have or projects, enabling access to a control room for any of these plants or projects. Since the plant's clients will not be integrated in a single machine, it is necessary to specify which plant the users want to watch. In this scenario, the system is organized in discrete locations controlled by local operators who are supported by local redundant servers. At the same time, a management level in a central control room can be configured to monitor all sites simultaneously. Each site is represented in the project as a separate cluster, grouping their rooms for each. Users select the specific plant they wish to monitor since clients for each plant are not integrated into one machine. This setup features discrete locations with local operators and redundant servers for each site, along with a central control room for simultaneous monitoring of all sites. Each site is represented by a separate cluster comprising primary and standby servers.
