Introduction
Advantech WebAccess is browser-based software package for human-machine interfaces (HMI), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). All the features found in
conventional HMI and SCADA software packages are available in an ordinary browser including Animated Graphics Displays, Real-time Data Control, Trends, Alarms and Logs.
WebAccess is based on standard internet architecture, its basic component includes:
1. SCADA Node: It communicates in real-time with automation equipments and control the equipment via Serial, Ethernet or proprietary communications. The SCADA Node can
provide supervisory control and data acquisition functions, includes supplying communication driver (Modbus, PLC, and I/O systems), real-time and historical trending. It also
can monitor and log alarm and event. The SCADA Node has its own run-time database and all graphics.
2. Project Node: It is the developing platform for WebAccess, and all system configuration and project development is implemented on the Project Node. It is a web server for all
Client and SCADA node to connect with.
3. Client: Through an ActiveX control inside Internet Explorer Web browser, it has the ability to monitor and control the SCADA Node simultaneously. The Client connects to
the Project Node only to get the address of the SCADA Node. The Client then communicates directly with the SCADA Node using proprietary communications over a TCP/IP
network connection. Data is displayed in real-time with dynamically updated graphics, and user can monitor real-time and historical trending with alarm record. Besides, user
can acknowledge alarms and change setpoints, status and other data.
4. Thin Client: The Thin Client interface is intended for use with PDA, Pocket PCs and Handheld computers. Other ASP enabled web browsers can view the thin client graphics.
Thin client interface supplies static snapshots of dynamic graphics as GIFs and JPEGs. No plug-in or ActiveX control is required. Real-time data, alarms and changes to data are
through a text type interface. Thin client has been tested with the iPAQ series of pocket PCs. The thin client does not communicate with the SCADA node directly. The thin client
communicates directly to the Project Node (Web Server).
Features
Web Browser Client to View and Control
Using a standard Web browser, users can view and control automation equipment used
in industrial, manufacturing, process and building automation systems. Data is displayed
to users in real-time with dynamically updated graphics using full-motion animation.
Powerful Remote Diagnose and Maintenance Functionality
The unique feature, which distinguishes WebAccess from the competition, is that all
engineering project, configuration, graphics building (DRAW) and software management
(download, start and restart remote nodes) is performed using a standard Web browser.
If there is any troubleshooting needed, no matter wherever the operator is located, he
can use the standard internet to operate the system. This can significantly increase the
efficiency of maintenance operation and reduce the maintenance cost.
Vector-based Graphics
WebAccess features Vector-based graphics. Vector-based graphics provide smaller file
sizes and faster download. Because Vector-based graphics use mathematic algorithm to
save image, its file size is much smaller than Bitmap graphics. Therefore it is much faster
to transfer Vector-based graphics on internet. Besides, WebAccess features user interface
self-adaptive adjustment technology, no matter how user adjust the screen ratio of monitor,
WebAccess can ensure all the user interface will be displayed on the screen. When the
resolution of screen increases, the display performance will also become better respectively.
Import BMP, JPEG and GIF
Except Vector-based graphics, WebAccess also supports the most popular BMP, JPEG
and GIF Bitmap format file, and user can zoom in or zoom out these image as well as
animation configurations. WebAccess also provides build-in animation image libraries.
Import AutoCAD DXF
WebAccess is similar to AutoCAD, which allows engineers familiar with AutoCAD to
get comfortable with WebAccess in short amount of time. Users can import DXF format
files into WebAccess, and can edit imported data and choose animation configurations.
Scripts Using TCL, Java Script or VB Script
Scripts in WebAccess use the open source programming languages TCL, Java Script
or VB Script and allow users to develop customized actions, calculations and reports.
Scheduler
The Scheduler provides control and changes setpoint status based on time and date.
Lights, Fans, and HVAC equipment are turned on and off based on the time, day of week
and date. The Scheduler is also used in process control and manufacturing applications.
All these schedule configurations can be modified remotely through internet.
