WebAccess Client 

Access real-time data and control facilities over the Web using a standard Browser.

View and Control

Using a standard Web-browser, users can view and control automation equipment used in manufacturing facilities, industrial process plants, electric power stations and building automation systems.

WebAccess is the first fully web browser-based software package for human-machine interfaces (HMI), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). All the features found in conventional HMI and SCADA software packages are available in an ordinary web Browser including Animated Graphics Displays, Real-time Data, Controllers, Trends, Alarms and Logs.

Animated Graphics and Real-Time Data

Data is displayed in real-time with dynamically updated graphics using full motion animation.

Fans Rotate based on ON/OFF status and speed. Tank Levels fill based on analog values and numeric data read from field devices. Colors change based on status and Alarms. Pushbuttons allow users to toggle states. Sliders bars and Popup Dialog boxes allow operator entry for passwords, setpoints, alarm limits and data.

To speed download tines and reduce file sizes, WebAccess uses vector-based graphics. Graphics are built from libraries of symbols and widgets.  AutoCAD DXF graphics can be imported, edited and animated using the vector based DRAW package. Bitmaps and Jpegs can also be imported and mixed with vector objects to create graphic displays.

Trending and  Data Logging

Trends display historical data graphically. Each tag is logged to a separate file on the SCADA node hard drive; this allows "new tags" to be added to a Historical Trend display without losing history of other tags.  

Alarm Handling Package 

WebAccess provides a notification system to inform operators of process and equipment status. The Alarm Handling Package includes summaries, logs, sorting by priority, alarm response graphic, text messaging to pagers, email notification of alarms and Text-to-Speech Alarm Annunciation.

WebAccess HMI also monitors the communications drivers that communicate with automation hardware including programmable logic controllers (PLC), IO, controllers, direct digital control systems (DDC) and distributed control systems (DCS)
Live Video mixed with animation, live data, alarms and trends

WebAccess provides interfaces to web-enabled Video cameras allowing operators and users to monitor equipment and facilities using the WebAccess client. Live full-motion Video cameras, audio and Windows Media are viewed in same Graphic display as Trends, Alarms. Pushbuttons and Live Data.

 

WebAccess Configure, Draw Graphics and Administer Software Remotely

The unique feature, which distinguishes WebAccess from the competition, is that all engineering, database configuration, graphics building and software administration can be performed using a standard web browser as well.

WebAccess enables engineers, integrators and vendors with the ability to support their systems remotely over an intranet or the Internet using an ordinary web browser.


WebAccess is available in multiple languages including English, French, Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Client
The WebAccess Client plug-in is available for desktop computers, and laptops running Microsoft Windows CE, 98, 2000, XP (Home and Professional), Server 2003 and Vista (including Home, Business and Ultimate versions) using Internet Explorer 5.5 and later. Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 support all features of the WebAccess client plug-in. The Client provides full-animation graphics and dynamically updated real-time data.

Thin Client Interface
The WebAccess Thin Client Interface requires no additional software.  Intended for PDA and Pocket PC, any ASP enabled web browser can view the Thin Client Graphics including computers running Microsoft Windows CE, 95 98, ME, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and Internet Explorer.

SCADA
The WebAccess SCADA node software is available for desktop computers, and laptops running Microsoft Windows CE, 2000, Server 2003, XP Professional and Vista (Business and Ultimate Versions).

PROJECT NODE - CONFIGURATION TOOL AND DATABASE SERVER
The WebAccess PROJECT Node software is available for desktop computers, and laptops running Microsoft Windows 2000, Server 2003, XP Professional and Vista (Business and Ultimate Versions).

Note 1 - XP Home is supported only as a Client.
Note 2 - Windows CE Client has limited functionality (no scripts or video) and is designed for specific hardware. Contact your local sales office for more information.
Note 3- Windows Vista running on some hardware platforms (for example single core INTEL and AMD) do not support Video, Tools, Reports and web browser controls inside a graphic display. It appears most Dual Core INTEL and AMD PCs produced after 2006 do support all features in the WebAccess Client using Vista. It is recommended to test an Vista based PC before using it as a WebAccess Client if you plan to use Video, Tools, Reports, Logs or any Web control inside a graphic display
