Users can now view scada plant information, such as values, historical data and trends on a mobile device, making plant monitoring and control more accessible.
With new mobile scada application from Adroit Technologies, users and engineers are no longer tied to one project site or computer. The Application Programming Interface (API) gives users the freedom to monitor, control and program scada operations from remote locations.
Projects spanning multiple locations, remote sites and those with limited resources can benefit by enabling their managers through access to realtime and historical scada data. Plant engineers can gain through the ability to work on live plant equipment while accessing trends of associated plant parameters.
Adopting mobile solutions gives users access to scada data via devices such as PDAs and smart phones and provides connectivity to any Adroit scada server available on the network. Once connected, the user can browse tag values displaying realtime values, tabular history data, realtime trends or copy the information for use in mobile applications like pocket Word or pocket Excel.
The mobile scada application leverages the power and connectivity options of the Adroit scada package using the Adroit Web service which utilises the Microsoft .NET framework.
Adroit users can deploy the Web Service on one or more of their plant or IT server computers. Subject to suitable security authentication provisions, this enables visibility of the realtime and historical tag values resident in any accessible Adroit server.
Utilising industry standard SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and XML (Extended Markup Language) protocols, users can remotely connect to any Adroit Server visible to the Web service. Once attached, the user can access information in available tag types. All accessible properties of the specified tags and I/O are available for viewing as are historical data for a defined period. Users can also set the value of accessible tag properties.
"The possible operations empower the creation of virtually any kind of client application in any programming language: C#, VB.NET, J#, etc, on any platform offering .NET support," says John Ballinger, managing director of Adroit UK.
An application of the Adroit Web service, currently in development in South Africa, is a generic sample website. It enables users of Adroit to put together a web portal offering realtime and historical tag information via a web browser such as Internet Explorer, FireFox or Opera, to anyone with the correct security credentials.
"Mobile scada is the way forward for organisations that want to minimise capital, and maximise plant monitoring and control," says Dave Wibberley, the developer's managing director. "All software companies have to keep in mind the trends that are taking place in the industry and leverage technology to make customers' work easier."
