Flexible Architecture
The platform's architecture enables you to develop in a single environment and deploy the necessary components from the server to the edge, based on your requirements. The modular architecture provides a more flexible and scalable solution for automation and control applications, allowing faster development, simplified maintenance, and enhanced adaptability to changing requirements.
The platform has a complete set of Rapid Application Development tools.
Included Modules
Modules are organized to deliver a simple way to encapsulate all the functionalities required when creating real-time industrial applications, from Edge to SCADA HMI and Enterprise systems.
Tags, Assets and Templates
Creates Real-Time data models, including Tags and Templates. Dynamic tagless on-demand data connectivity with an external system is possible with the Dynamic TagProvider. Asset modeling enables the creation of a hierarchical view of the data.
Tag Historian
Stores and retrieves time-series data. The platform has an SQL historian engine with Canary Historian at no extra charge. Seamless integration with other historian tools, such as OSIsoft PI and InfluxDB. Out-of-the-box-store-and-forward functionality.
Security
Manages access control to the project configuration and security model to the user of the running project. User security allows FDA compliance applications, Active Directory integration, LDAP, and more. Easily define which display/objects are accessible based on the user profile and security groups.
Devices
Includes more than 50 native communication protocol drivers for PLC, transmitters, and field devices. Supports OPC UA and DA, server, and client execution, and new industry standards like MQTT SparkPlug B.
Alarms
Organizes the Tags around Groups and Areas, allowing easy setting for Alarm conditions, Audit-Trail, email or SMS or voice notification, online and historian alarms visualization. Agnostic storage on any selected Database provider.
Datasets
Manages multiple simultaneous connections with SQL database, processes with queries, and tables customized for the values of real-time tags. Manages recipes and data files in ASCII, UNICODE, or XML.
Scripts
Delivers high-performance server-side and client-side scripting capability. Programming languages include C#, VB .NET, Python, and JavaScript. Easily create multi-threading applications with parallel execution for the task and add references to externally developed classes.
Displays
State-of-the-art drawing tool used to create User Interface Displays, with an extensive set of fully customizable Symbols and Graphical components. Create a Responsive Dashboard and a traditional Process Diagram or SCADA High-Performance Graphics. Deploy the displays in HTML5, or secure .NET SmartClient, to desktop mobile or web clients. Extend the user experience with advanced features, including Language Localization, dynamic conversion of Engineering Units, and Displays' dynamic scheme of Theme colors.
Diagnostics Tools
Delivers tools specifically designed to assist in the commissioning of applications, long-term maintenance, and development tests. Leverage three decades of experience in start-up and factory-floor real-time systems.
Data Explorer
The Data Explorer tools allow you to easily perform data mining and monitoring from various data sources, including MQTT Brokers, OPC-UA, PLCs and SQL databases.
