At the AUTOMATION OPTIMATION EUROPE fair (Paris expo porte de Versailles - Hall 7.2 - September, 27-29, 2005), AREAL will present the version 4.0 of its SCADA software TOPKAPI VISION, featuring outstanding innovations to structure applications and to exchange data with third party applications such as automation platforms and MES systems :
- Data base structured objects : the user creates generic objects of supervision adapted to his need using simple dialog boxes - without scripts.
- Connection of the structured objects with external applications of engineering and automation.
- ActiveX Component to access the supervision database, enabling a full integration with MES systems and users developments in VB, ASP, Java, .net, SQL
- Native switchover of distant TCP-IP connections (ADSL, VPN...) with PSTN modem connection for applications of remote maintenance and remote control
- New Web server optimized for PDAs
- Macro commands for graphic interface HMI enabling a complete customization of operation screens
- Data acquisition by SMS messagesFor more information visit www.areal.fr
These objects are designed simply by the assembly of standard elementary components in which the basic parameters are defined once.
Thus, by a natural approach similar to that of automation, one defines equipment whose characteristics are likely to evolve with the flexibility of the object inheritance.
With Unity Pro, the software workshop for programming Schneider Electric controllers, Topkapi features a fully integrated development system by ensuring data uniqueness thanks to a bidirectional link
