Wizcon is a whizz over the web
15 Jan 2000
The latest version (7.5) of PC Soft's flagship product Wizcon for Windows (and now Internet) combines local and Internet-based Scada into a single runtime and development studio. It is also the first Scada package to support the recently released OPC (OLE for Process Control) 2.0 data access interface.
All graphic, trend and alarm displays developed using Wizcon's object-orientated drawing tools are stored in native file formats for local viewing, but are also now automatically saved as Java applets for HTML embedding, giving remote access to the same displays as the local operator.
When a remote user views a web page containing Wizcon information, the applet is downloaded and only data changes are transmitted.
Alarm windows, accessible from the browser, support all the tools found at the Wizcon station itself.
