E+PLC takes advantage of CODESYS, a leading platform which provides a proven, efficient engineering tool. Control and Visualization are built in the single integrated development environment (IDE), reducing the time and cost of implementing a system.

Engineers have the flexibility to develop sophisticated strategies and corresponding HMI functionality, with seamless integration between the two. Advanced Eurotherm algorithms can be readily selected from a library of easily applied function blocks. The resulting solution provides a standard, open platform for application development.

Eurotherm Wonderware PAC software https://www.eurotherm.com/us/products/machine-control-and-process-automation-us/pac-software-us/eurotherm-wonderware-pac-software/ Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:42:33 +0000 https://eurotherm.com/products/uncategorized/wonderware-pac-software/ Comprehensive, Fast Integration, Helps Reduce CAPEX and OPEX

As industrial processes evolve to take advantage of Industry 4.0 technologies, process control systems often need the capability and flexibility to connect into wider plant and business level systems.

In a typical high end SCADA system, multiple software tools are needed to integrate the different components. This can slow down and complicate each stage of the engineering process, adding unnecessary time and cost.

    Information Manager provides system connectivity between the LIN control network (via ARCnet and Ethernet) and the business environment. Enterprise clients systems can be distributed across multiple geographical and organisational boundaries, while maintaining access to any process value via the Operations Server or Information Manager. This structure enables applications to be distributed across the network and removes the need to duplicate data within each node.

    The Information Manager combines the power and flexibility of a relational database with the speed and compression of a real-time historian package, providing integration between office and plant floor. It embeds Microsoft SQL Server™, providing universal data access, a powerful relational engine and tight integration with other Microsoft applications.

    Engineers, maintenance managers and plant operators can view, analyze and present real-time, historical and alarm information using ActiveFactory client applications. Other off-the-shelf software that supports SQL/ODBC interfaces can directly read data from the pre-built tables.

    The database and stored procedures are automatically installed requiring no prior knowledge of relational databases or SQL. The Information Manager incorporates powerful, pre-defined queries enabling users to search and find data. This facilitates the understanding of the complex relationships and correlation between physical plant, manufacturing operating conditions, process events, product quality and production efficiency.
