April 19, 2012 - PcVue enhances Smart Generator for FactoryLink with protection against SCADA bugs. FactoryLink users can port their applications to a more secure and robust SCADA infrastructure with improved capabilities. To minimize any chance of a malfunction, cyber-attack or any potential issues, it is critical to organizations that they rely on continually supported products that are regularly updated and constantly improved upon especially when it comes to SCADA applications.
PcVue supports FactoryLink users with its Smart Generator SCADA application builder tool . Thanks to a past collaboration, Client Builder, the FactoryLink graphic editor, comprises the same technologies with PcVue HMI/SCADA software, which means the transition to PcVue HMI/SCADA is not only simple but also will provide FactoryLink users access to improved and new features, quickly and almost effortlessly. Smart Generator is able to offer FactoryLink users the most secure and reliable way to safeguard their existing applications, reuse already configured FactoryLink graphics, tag databases, and object libraries with ease. The Smart Generator gives FactoryLink customer peace of mind, saves development time and reduces the total cost of ownership.
FactoryLink savvy System Integrators don’t need retraining on the SCADA because approximately 70% of PcVue will already be familiar to them, but they will benefit from more flexible capabilities and find it much more intuitive and easier to develop applications using PcVue. FactoryLink customers can keep existing relationships with their hardware providers intact because PcVue is hardware independent and works with hundreds of PLC brands/models. Additionally users will reduce the time and cost of upgrading while benefiting from newer scaleable technology with more functionalities. Using the Smart Generator, customers can import PLC and CAD configurations - eliminating any repetitious work.
Not limited to homogeneous automation environments, imports can be complemented in a fully documented XML format.
