InduSoft Web Studio v7.0 HMI/ SCADA

InduSoft has released version 7 of the InduSoft Web Studio HMI/ SCADA software, which incorporates many additions to overall functionality, including an improved user interface.

Additions to the software include improvements to the rapid application configuration environment (RACE), an interface that was designed to create an easy-to-use SCADA application development environment. Additional graphic enhancements include customisable colour palettes and colour and pattern fill options for trends. Dynamic rotation of bitmap images is now also supported.

SCADA security supports Microsoft Active Directory using standard LDAP protocol, and offers security synchronisation between multiple IWS workstations. In addition, intellectual property protection has been added so that machine builders and integrators can protect their corporate custom functionality.

Version 7 supports OPC UA and OPC Xi, in addition to bundling in 250 drivers that communicate with PLCs and controllers from all major manufacturers. Online and historical alarms and trending; recipes, reports and advanced features like SQL database connectivity, web publishing, email and PDF publishing are all built in. A one-click, multi-language translation feature allows users to read their application in their native language.

The software is available with many new tag counts. This allows users to take advantage of the scalability of this SCADA software. Those using Windows Embedded, or Windows CE can develop their application on any supported Microsoft operating system, and deploy it anywhere, while users on Windows 7, or Windows Server editions can use InduSoft to develop complex SCADA projects to run on desktops or servers.
