Web-enabled Studio 6.1
January 2010
IT in Manufacturing
Advantech’s Studio 6.1 is a web-enabled HMI/scada software tool. It enables complete control and monitoring facility operations through the Internet from anywhere outside the location. Personnel can maintain a constant vigil for occurring alarms with Advantech’s Studio’s page and email warning capabilities. It is a simple drag and drop, point and click development environment that runs on various configurations of the Windows platform, from powerful redundant workstations using the latest Intel processors and Windows server software, to simple handheld PDAs and ‘smartphones’ that use Windows CE/Windows Mobile technology. It also runs on diskless embedded processors and panel PCs as well as supporting web-based applications.
A single development tool supports operator displays, Visual Basic scripts, trends, alarm, logs, and other functions. The enhanced Trend Object has no limits on the number of pens and each pen can be configured individually, even during the runtime.
Studio 6.1 supports a vastly superior interface for connecting to SQL databases and ERP systems. Operators and engineers can now execute any SQL statement from a Windows CE Client or a Web thin client. It also supports an enhanced interface for producing alarms, trends, and reports in the popular PDF file format.
With multi-level security features, users can now optimise security settings, ensuring that final outputs cannot be altered by an operator or any other person in the process, enabling an ironclad audit trail. Studio 6.1 conforms to virtually all industrial tools, standards and protocols, including .Net, OPC, ADO, XML, SOAP, ActiveX, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, thin clients, graphic formats, SQL and Excel.
